Lot of that going around lately...  ;-)

Hi Mika,

I don't of the existence of any vmcores.  Do you know off-hand if kdump would
work, or whether it's currently possible that a 40-bit PAE kernel can kexec itself?
Typically in the past with new arches I have always got crash working on the
live system first.

But anyway, I appreciate the offer -- good to know... 

Thanks,
  Dave
