Or even grab a picture by camera on a console if you enable logging by klogconsole -l7 -c /dev/tty0 and then try it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If you have any patches I could try to backout I could compile a kernel or two tonight. I will verify that 2.6.27-rc3 works tonight. So are there a lot of relevant changes from rc3 to rc4? I will not have time over the weekend. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I can't see anything significant (read: nothing which could fix this issue by any chance). I need at least the traces to see what's going on. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It now crashed just 1 of 3 times. Just a thought zypper decided to install a pae and a default kernel for me last time it could be that one of my kernels was pae and the other default. It might be connected with rebooting from OS X. I think yesterday I had to reboot to google... I am setting Severity to minor as I am not sure what to do anymore either. Sorry will report back as soon as I can reproduce. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
