Hello folks!
People most likely needs first oops most of the time, so
it would be great to make a kernel boot option to stop after
first oops, so in the situations when its neede life can be made easy.
Actually afaics this is being done each time by hand, so
panic() in BUG() as Rik proposed would be nice.
What do you folks think?
cheers, Sam

Absolutely NOT. If you panic() in BUG() then you DO have to copy the oops
by hand each time, whereas the normal situation is that you can keep
running after an oops - to decode it, see what the symptoms are, check
memory, etc.
Cheers, Andreas

Hmm... I propose to make it a boot option.
Else sometimes you wont be able to retrieve info at all, as like
in the situation i have right now: oops in kupdated which i even
cant post and it remains there all 2.4.8 and 2.4.9.
Cheers, Sam
