Heh, I'd say something helpful but you basically already shot down all of my advice, because what I do is... 1) Reduce the size of the ring buffer 2) Dump out just one CPU 3) use kexec/kdump and make a crash kernel to extract trace.dat from That's my debugging environment, but it looks like you want something else. -- Steve
