Thanks Andres for the info. kexec/kdump kernel code has been merged with 2.6 mainline since 2.6.13-rc1. I was wondering whom shall I contact for kdump integration on Debian. Having initrd/initramfs support for kdump is just one of things needed for kdump integration. Other stuffs like including the user space kexec-tools with kdump support with Debian distribution, enabling CONFIG_KEXEC in Debian kernel, and packaging dump capture kernel etc. Thanks Rachita PS: Putting debian-kernel again on CC. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
