I'm sorry to ask such a possibly very dumb question, but I can't seem
to be able to get netconsole working.
I don't know if you're willing to help me solve this, but here it goes anyway:
Here is my setup:
A laptop is going to be used to grab the output from my computer.
- The laptop and my computer are connected to each other and they can
ping each other.
- laptop's IP: 10.0.0.2, my computer's IP: 10.0.0.1
- iptables are empty on both computers.
- I followed [1]:
I edited /etc/default/syslogd on the laptop to have the line: SYSLOGD="-r"
I issued "modprobe netconsole
netconsole=@10.0.0.1/eth1,@10.0.0.2/" on my computer. /var/log/syslog
says:
Jun 17 00:35:33 C-5 kernel: [ 8034.962239] netconsole: local port 6665
Jun 17 00:35:33 C-5 kernel: [ 8034.962243] netconsole: local IP 10.0.0.1
Jun 17 00:35:33 C-5 kernel: [ 8034.962246] netconsole: interface eth1
Jun 17 00:35:33 C-5 kernel: [ 8034.962249] netconsole: remote port 6666
Jun 17 00:35:33 C-5 kernel: [ 8034.962251] netconsole: remote IP 10.0.0.2
Jun 17 00:35:33 C-5 kernel: [ 8034.962254] netconsole: remote ethernet
address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Jun 17 00:35:33 C-5 kernel: [ 8034.979830] console [netcon0] enabled
Jun 17 00:35:33 C-5 kernel: [ 8034.979834] netconsole: network logging started
I thought everything was well configured, but when something appears
on the syslog (or if I issue "logger hello world"), no packets are
sent from my computer on any network card (at least that wireshark can
see).
Am I missing something? Do you think you can help me with this?
Also, can you tell me if netconsole gives the same detail of debug as
if a serial cable was being used? I've been asked to use a serial
cable to debug something else in the past, but I had never heard of
netconsole.
Regards and thanks in advance,
Pitxyoki
