Ok, I cannot use ssh (just one mashine). What other options do I have
to debug this thing? There should be a way to do this with just one
computer.
I read somewhere that the 2.6.26 kernel have some "new debugger" or
so. I just need to make it write down the process to a file. After
restart I can send you the log.
After the drive loads I can only hard reset the computer. And if
everything is in the ram, then I have to dump it to a file. Any other
ideas?
