Thanks. I will try to include the driver in the kernel, not as a module. This is an experiment for me since I do not know how to tell it what ip address etc. to use. Can probably be done in kernel command line, but are unaware of any examples. I did try netconsole as a module, and tried loading in with a command in /etc/modprobe.d. I did not appear to work. Not sure why. I need to get netconsole loaded before the user login, and hopefully before the crash which I believe is related to the nouveau Nvidia driver.
Would a serial console be available earlier? Linux supports that. All you need is a computer running Miniterm and a serial port.
I cannot remember the last laptop I saw with a serial port, or a printer port. Modern laptops seem to have dispensed with all of those to become thinner and lighter.
Don Yep, a lot of these ultrabooks don't even have an ethernet port anymore
What's the reason for going this path, Don?
My laptop crashes with the nouveau Nvidia driver loaded. I wanted to report the crash dump to the nouveau site to see if they were aware of the problem. I need the output during boot, before entering user mode. Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
