I sent this e-mail do Julien, but he recommended me to send it here instead. If anyone can help me with this, I'd appreciate it.

I don't know if you're willing to help me solve this, but here it goes anyway: Here is my setup: A laptop is going to be used to grab the output from my computer. - The laptop and my computer are connected to each other and they can ping each other. - laptop's IP: 10.0.0.2, my computer's IP: 10.0.0.1 - iptables are empty on both computers. - I followed [1]: I edited /etc/default/syslogd on the laptop to have the line: SYSLOGD="-r" I issued "modprobe netconsole netconso...@10.0.0.1/eth1,@10.0.0.2/" on my computer. /var/log/syslog says: Jun 17 00:35:33 C-5 kernel: [ 8034.962239] netconsole: local port 6665 Jun 17 00:35:33 C-5 kernel: [ 8034.962243] netconsole: local IP 10.0.0.1 Jun 17 00:35:33 C-5 kernel: [ 8034.962246] netconsole: interface eth1 Jun 17 00:35:33 C-5 kernel: [ 8034.962249] netconsole: remote port 6666 Jun 17 00:35:33 C-5 kernel: [ 8034.962251] netconsole: remote IP 10.0.0.2 Jun 17 00:35:33 C-5 kernel: [ 8034.962254] netconsole: remote ethernet address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Jun 17 00:35:33 C-5 kernel: [ 8034.979830] console [netcon0] enabled Jun 17 00:35:33 C-5 kernel: [ 8034.979834] netconsole: network logging started I thought everything was well configured, but when something appears on the syslog (or if I issue "logger hello world"), no packets are sent from my computer on any network card (at least that wireshark can see). Am I missing something? Do you think you can help me with this? Also, can you tell me if netconsole gives the same detail of debug as if a serial cable was being used? I've been asked to use a serial cable to debug something else in the past, but I had never heard of netconsole.
