- This is a little note on how to get a kernel core image off anise.

-
- Step 1) Make sure Anise is in the debugger. If not, put it in the debugger.
-
- Step 2) Login to allspice as root (or any other account that doesn't have
- a home directory or search path on anise's disk.). Go to a file system
- with > 20 megabytes free space. I suggest the directory /swap1/cores
-
- Step 2.5) Test to make sure that anise is in the debugger. "kmsg -v anise"
- should work at this time.
-
- Step 3) Run kgcore as follows: "kgcore -v anise"
- The -v is optional but I like it because it prints progress messages.
- Note that this step can take several (~ 2) minutes.
-
- Step 4) Rename the file "vmcore" so something more meaningful such as
- "mv vmcore vmcore.anise.crash.11-21".
-
- Step 5) Reboot anise.
