I've installed ubuntu 5.10 (64 bit X86 version) on a Sun Ultra 40.
In this machine I have a Symbios LVD SCSI card. I have an HP DLT80
tape drive connected to this card.
Doing "dd if=/dev/nst1 bs=32k skip=1" Will reliably panic the machine
I have the AMD SMP kernel installed, but this does not seem to be
kernel specific, as I built a 2.6.16 kernel with the sources from
kernel.org, and I can still reproduce this panic.
What should I do to properly report this?
Since you've tested on a kernel outside of ubuntu's realm, I'd suggest
reporting it directly to the kernel guys.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/
If I had to guess, I'd throw it in the category IO/Storage -> SCSI
I was really asking for information as to how to best capture useful
data for the bug report.
Does Linux generate crash dumps for instance? Is there a way to set
up so that when the panic occurs, the mesages that are sent to the
console get logged? etc.
Any noise the kernel makes before it's last hurrah, will be in /var/log/kern.log
If in the case the kernel dies before anything is logged there's some
trickery required to get information.
There's more information here:
