What I meant is that OpenWRT is quite a different environment than a typical Linux system, with a customized kernel[1], logging disabled by default, etc. Of course 'dmesg' works on a Debian system, but don't know if this particular information is in there. It most probably is[2], but I wont state something if I don't know for sure. [1] there are still builds with a 2.4 kernel [2] AFAIK the OOM killer is in the kernel Kind regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
