Re: X still locks up

Hi all,

On   7 Jul, this message from Gwyn Judd echoed through cyberspace:

3) When I rebooted there was no kernel panic in the logs. This has me
puzzled. I suppose it could have crashed and not had it written out to
disk in time. On the otherhand this has happened before and each time
there is no panic.

If you want to be sure you get all panic logs, the only way is to get a
serial console. The console is the only device that is guaranteed to get
a panic log, if one is produced. You'd also see it on a (screen) console
if you weren't running X...

There's a doc explaining serial console under the linux/Documentation
directory.
