how capture segfault trace for bug report; lenny megaraid driver?



Hello all,

I use an HP NetRaid 1si raid card in my HP NetServer LPr.  It worked
fine on Etch and was able to retreive status info from /proc/megaraid,
e.g. 

# cat /proc/megaraid/hba0/raiddrives-0-9

With Lenny, there are a couple of problems:

1.	Rescue mode doesn't see the drives even though they show up in
	dmesg.

2.	When I cat any info in the /proc/megaraid/ tree, the first time,
	I get a segfault.  A second time just hangs.  The process is
	immortal (it doesn't even get killed by init on shutdown).

I'd like to get this fixed, or at least submit a bug report.  However,
how do I capture the segfault info (I don't have a serial console at
this time, but I suppose that's a possibility).  

I've tried:

1.	ulimit -c 100000; cd /var/tmp/; cat /proc/megaraid....
	
	no core file anywhere that I can find

2.	script to megaraiderr file; cat /proc/megaraid.... 2>&1
	
	The script just gives the segfault warning, but all the messages
	are lost.

Nothing is logged to syslog.

Questions:

1.	How do I capture the info?

2.	To whome do I submit a bug report?

Thanks,

Doug.
