On a no root found panic (which are likely the majority of all panics) the stack dump is about 100% useless. I also think it's a very bad idea to add them to machine checks again for psychological reasons. -Andi - 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/
