It is possible to tell the kernel to log to another machine via ethernet. I have done it, works right. Not as low level as a real serial port, but it makes do. Mostly :-)
You'd be looking at ...../Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt However it says <quote> It can be used either built-in or as a module. As a built-in, netconsole initializes immediately after NIC cards and will bring up the specified interface as soon as possible. While this doesn't allow capture of early kernel panics, it does capture most of the boot process. </quote> So I don't know how useful it is. I've never needed to use it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
