I'd report it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kernel oopses sent to the Debian bug tracking system will probably be forwarded upstream, but, in the case of the kernel, unless you have reason to believe that it's a Debian-specific situation you're better off bypassing the middle-man. (For other packages the Debian BTS is a better place to report bugs than directly upstream.) > Another question: Is there anything, besides the output of ksymoops, the > symbols map file, the kernel config file, the hardware used on, the kernel > version and the situation, in which the oops happened, which should be > included in the bug report? Have a look at sections 4.2 and 4.3 of the linux-kernel FAQ (http://www.tux.org/lkml/). Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
