|

|
|
project is a set of kernel patches and utilities to allow a copy
|
|
of the kernel memory to be saved in the event of a kernel panic.
|
|
The saved kernel image makes forensics on the kernel panic
|
|
possible with utilities included in the package. Most commercial
|
|
Unix operating systems come with similar crash utilities, but
|
|
this package is fairly new to Linux and has to be added on
|
|
manually. The LKCD utility is not designed to gather helpful
|
|
information in the case of a hardware caused panic or a segment
|
|
violation. The complete LKCD package is available for download at
