LKCD,
I've got a quick question about LKCD. Is it possible to force a panic
from the keyboard? I don't
think the alt-sysrequest "magic key" can generate a panic, but maybe you
know another way.
I'm trying to get a kernel dump from a 4-headed SGI-1400 system which
frequently hangs up while
we're running MPI applications on it. I can ping the box, but not
telnet (I get "connected to...",
but no login prompt.) On the console, I get a login prompt, but never a
password prompt.
So, the keyboard is working, but not much else. I cannot run the
sys_setprioiry() kludge example shown
in the LKCD FAQ. I'd love to force a panic from the keyboard so
I could get a dump to look at, but so far no luck.
Any help appreciated,
Tim Sirianni
