Hey,
I got an kernel panic in the ACPI system while trying to boot an 2.6.13-rc3. The problem is, that I can't see what's causing the panic, because I can't scoll up. Any ideas, how to log this issue ? All I can say is that it is an Null Pointer issue. The system is an ASUS M6Ne. Thx
Janosch

The common ways are:
- use a serial console
- use netconsole (kernel config option + netcat on another system)
- use a smaller console font

My laptop dosen'T have a serial port..., or is there a way to use USB for that ?

it's an ACPI bug, it happens before the networkcard is even initalized

I hacked the Kernel oops mesage, so I could see what was the last message before the oops:

Executing all Device _STA and _INI methodes

after this commes a big trace, here a few lines...

default_wake_function
acpi_ex_exit_interpreter
__down_failed
.text.lock.ec
acpi_ec_space_handler
acpi_ec_space_handler
acpi_ev_address_space_dispatch

If anybody is interested in the full stack trace, say it, then I will type it all in by hand...

Hi!
Do You have a (digital) camera ? I succeeded several times with submitting an oops with a "real" snapshot of the monitor screen. You can't make a mistake and if the picture is sharp enough, .jpg is as good as .txt :-).
