| |
Hi Matt,
Here's a couple small tweaks. The first is to netpoll_setup. The settle time was too short for my e100, and the system would hang. The second is to netconsole so that it registers a console with CON_PRINTBUFFER. This helps debugging early bootup issues where you want to capture data from before netconsole is initialized. Perhaps it should be a param to netconsole?
thanks, -chris
