unfortunately i can't do that because it's a production server and i should=
 avoid any downtime...
however i think i'll notice if it works at next kernel panic when analyzing=
 the dump if any...

to lkcd format(thanks to Dr. Itsuro Oda). Then you may use the lkcd tools t=
o catch the reason of the panic.

thank you!
