BREAK is an RS-232 signal that you'd send over the serial console. (I am assuming here that you've been instructed to use SysRq functionality after a crash). To do it at the keyboard, try Alt+Stop+p. If you have magic sysrq enabled and that doesn't work, file a bug on the Linux kernel documentation. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
