[Q] how to use syslogd to debug kernel ?

[liyu@WAN]

Hi, everyone.

   I know kernel oops can be seen by run 'dmesg', but if
kernel crashed, we can not run it.   so I reconfigure syslogd
to support remote forward, the debug machine content of
syslogd.conf is:

##################
   kern.*             @192.168.28.137
   (more lines after it are ignored)
##################

   and run syslogd with '-m 0 -h' option.

   the macheine have IP 192.168.28.137, its syslogd.conf:

##################
   #kern.*            /var/messages
   (more lines after it are ignored)  
##################

   and I run syslogd on this machine with '-r' option.

   After all, I run "tail -f /var/messages" on 192.168.28.137,
I can see boot log and normal printk() result. Well! however,
the most importantest message, crash Oops is lost.

   Any suggest on it?

   Wait for any reply. thanks in advanced.
