Use a JTAG debugger... If you have a system that actually configures out printk's, chances are you don't have storage and output mechanisms to do much with the messages anyway. Think embedded _products_ here. Sure the development boards have serial, ethernet, and all that jazz but tens of millions of ARM based gadgets don't. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
