I compiled network module sky2 and netconsole into kernel 2.6.35.
Inserted into kernel line: "debug netconsole=192.168.1.10/eth0,192.168.1.5/00:11:25:aa:79:f7"
and ran on a laptop the cmd: "nc -l -u 6666" using all default ports if I read documentation correctly.
This failed to show any output at all.

What or how much do you want shot with my digital camera? I see maybe 3 or 4 screens fulls go by to where boot fails.
I added "boot_delay=15" for next boot.

I think it is already in kernel, since no sata modules load in a booting kernel (assuming sata is part of module name).

I only see one sata compiled into kernel: CONFIG_SATA_PMP=y and I also see no sata's loaded with lsmod in a working kernel (2.6.34.1).
I am going to rebuild again with CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=y instead of =m as it is Fedora's config (do not know how it got changed). These modules are loaded in 2.6.34.1:
#lsmod | egrep "ata|ahci" ata_generic 3427 0 pata_acpi 3227 0 pata_jmicron 2547 0 ahci 35887 4 libata 157450 4 ata_generic,pata_acpi,pata_jmicron,ahci scsi_mod 147895 5 sg,sr_mod,usb_storage,sd_mod,libata
Thanks, Don
