[Mkdump-devel] Re: Mkdump-devel digest, Vol 1 #15 - 1 msg

Hi:
	I think you can use the swap partition to dump the panic kernel. But you may try it first, type" echo 2>/proc/mkexec/stats". If it works, you may see some messages on the console.
	The developer of mkdump says that the tool to analyse the dump is on development. However, the attach is a tool that can convert the mkdump-format to lkcd format(thanks to Dr. Itsuro Oda). Then you may use the lkcd tools to catch the reason of the panic.
