He was asking for proper bugreport.
Preparing bug report: ===================== How To Ask Questions The Smart Way: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Anybody who has written software for public use will probably have received at least one bad bug report. Reports that say nothing ("It doesn't work!"); reports that make no sense; reports that don't give enough information; reports that give wrong information. How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html Before asking a technical question by email, or in a newsgroup, or on a website chat board, do the following: * Try to find an answer by searching the Web. * Try to find an answer by reading the manual. * Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ. * Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation. * Try to find an answer by reading the source code. Compile problems: report GCC output and result of "grep '^CONFIG_' .config" Oops: decode it with ksymoops (or use 2.6 with kksymoops enabled ;). Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part. Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested, which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often. -- vda - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
