- Matt, To carry on some of the discussions you'd initiated about having a block device dump interface. A question that comes to mind when comparing the proposed interface with the AIX ddump interface,

- Setting aside resources may be problematic, as the main developers will balk (I believe) at taking system resources for something you may never use. But then again, not everyone will use LKCD in the

- Exactly ! That was the reason for trying to outline the tasks - so we can bring up common stuff into the generic dump functionality, providing more control & flexibility in the fray. So the write cal

- One thing that might be nice, (I'm still on the fence on this matter), is to structure the code so it could be standalone code outside of the linux kernel. This would imply factoring out the iteratio

- In what sense? Right now, we're a module, but I suspect you aren't referring to this. Are you referring to something like LinuxBIOS? Just curious. We have briefly discussed something like this, along

- Well, not LinuxBIOS, but yes, from a custom BIOS. With things like the SMI interrupt one could potentially get at a pretty wedged system from a BIOS. Another factor to consider, (pardon my unfamiliar
