Thank you for the patch! I won't have time to review and test it fully until next week. It still might be useful to provide a symlink in the dump directory to where a debug kernel might be expected to live, to make running the crash tool on those dumps a little more straightforward. I'll start thinking about the best way to do that. -- John Wright <j...@debian.org> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
