From: Task Struct From Hell To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, kernel-janitors@vger.kernel.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org List, I am trying to figure out why one of my servers crashed, I have some C and ASM knowledge and back in the 2.2 days I even wrote a few modules to the Linux kernel, but now I am completely lost in the 2.6 kbuild and as such, can someone point into some documentation on debugging vmcore's and how to enable debugging symbols so using gdb wont be as painful? :-) --- Cheers, TSFH
