netconsole over pppoe
All it takes is a few pluggin in and pulling out of USB devices to cause kernel 3.8 to panic.
I can take a picture with a camera of the screen and send it to
somebody, but I would rather try
http://www.cmdln.org/2009/01/21/remote-kernel-logging-with-netconsole-for-fun-and-profit/
But it says I need the MAC address,
however I am on PPPOE over ADSL so
# netstat -rn #just says
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0
168.95.98.254 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
192.168.44.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
OK, so now I turn to wireshark to get the MAC address,
http://ask.wireshark.org/questions/15824/display-mac-address-in-the-packet-list
but of course that doesn't work for me either.
Why can't somebody make a shell script for me, so that after I connect to the internet,
it starts logging that kernel stuff to my Dreamhost Personal VPS,
(where I supposedly will run the netcat stuff to log to a file.)
P.S., please CC me as I am at my uncle's house today.
