Subject: [PATCH] kdump: enable CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE by default
Date: Fri, 7 Apr 2006 13:59:21 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060407175921.GA22556@in.ibm.com> (raw)
o Everybody seems to be using /proc/vmcore as a method to access the kernel
crash dump. Hence probably it makes sense to enable CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE by
default if CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is selected. This makes kdump configuration
further easier for a user.
