Description (Last modified by tg)

It would be great to have netconsole into the freewrt because it could be used to debug without making the serial mode:netconsole send the dmesg messages over the network

here's the patches:

for 2.4.10-C2 : http://people.redhat.com/mingo/netconsole-patches/netconsole-2.4.10-C2

for 2.4.20 : http://kasperd.net/~kasperd/linux_kernel/netconsole-2.4.20.patch

for 2.4.24 : http://www.13thfloor.at/patches/patch-2.4.24-nc0.01.diff

for 2.4.24 : http://search.luky.org/linux-kernel.2004/msg04598.html

we should adapt one of theses patch to the network drivers of the supported devices of openwrt

I'm unsure about the part of doing this in the kernel, especially the security implications.

Once, I've hacked /etc/preinit to make all console output both appear on the console AND piped to netmsg applet (busybox). This worked for me. Would that be enough?

I don't really want to touch the network drivers, that area is fragile enough already.
