2.6.17-1.2139 changed/broke netconsole

[Dax Kelson]

Between 2.6.16-1.2133 and 2.6.17-1.2139 the legal parameters for the
netconsole kernel module changed. This breaks the /etc/init.d/netdump
script.

========================

$ modinfo -p 2.6.16-1.2133_FC5/kernel/drivers/net/netconsole.ko
netconsole:
netconsole=[src-port]@[src-ip]/[dev],[tgt-port]@<tgt-ip>/[tgt-macaddr]

netlog:
netlog=[src-port]@[src-ip]/[dev],[tgt-port]@<tgt-ip>/[tgt-macaddr]

$ modinfo -p 2.6.17-1.2139_FC5/kernel/drivers/net/netconsole.ko
netconsole:
netconsole=[src-port]@[src-ip]/[dev],[tgt-port]@<tgt-ip>/[tgt-macaddr]

========================

I haven't investigated further yet. I did file a bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197272

With 2.6.17-1.2139 I can only get a minute or two of use before my
ThinkPad T42p locks hard. I was hoping to use netconsole to obtain debug
info. I do note that I haven't gotten it to lockup yet when I booted to
runlevel 3 with no X.
