Hi Micah, Thanks for early reply, Yes, i m using kernel 2.4.26. I specified dump flags to 0, but lkcd_config failed as below
# /etc/init.d/lkcdutils Configuring system for crash dumps... dump flags not specified /sbin/lkcd_config failed! Activating swap parition btw, #lkcd on irc.freenode.net redirects to http://svn-meta.freenode.net/ where I did not find lkcd. My earlier mail, after system reboots with sysrq, /etc/init.d/lkcdutils wont save dump in /var/log/dump/ , /var/log/dump appears to be empty. Please help or any pointers. -Regards Kotrappa. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Micah Anderson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Kotrappa" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2005 1:27 AM Subject: Re: Bug#296857: lkcd save command wont save dump > Hi, > > I notice that you are using 2.4.26 with lkcd.
