Hello John,

I am investigating if we can automate, and, possibly add console_blash.sh
[1] to our test suite here at Red Hat.

At Red Hat we use SSH to manage our test boxes. On an off-list email you wrote that 'Only the UART should be used as a console'. I took this as no ssh session should be used from the boot up until the crash, but I should have confirmed this. Is this correct?

The license for our test suite is GPL v3 [2]. May we have your permission to license it under that or permissive?

Adding Bruno @ CKI to CC.

It is called "console_blast.sh". ;-)

SSH is fine. SSH sessions are not consoles. Consoles are specified with the console= or netconsole= boot argument and receive the kernel messages automatically from the kernel.

Yes, GPL v3 is OK.
