I am having random reboots on my 5.3 system even using GENERIC.
I am wondering, what do I have to do to enable some sort of debug/crash log...I dont want the thing to just reboot w/o telling me why.
When this happens, there are no logs...just a reboot and then the FSCK.
I believe I need to compile some options into a kernel to trap this, but dunno...where...
Thanks in advance guys :)
If you enable debugging in the kernel, IIRC, you should have a dump file in the system root directory when the system crashes. If you tell us a little more about the system you're using, such as hardware, specific services you're running, we might be able to tell you why it's crashing. Also, the output of uname -a would be beneficial.
