For some reason, the ia64 and x86_64 kernels don't have netconsole
compiled as a module, making it tough to netdump:

I'm currently buliding the x86_64 module myself, I'll see how it goes,
but I have consistent crashing with x86_64 WS every 8 days or so.
Anyone know why those platforms don't have NETCONSOLE by default?
ppc64 does, so I don't think it's a 64bit thing.

My 2 starting point suggestions would be:
1) enable kernel logging in the /etc/syslog.conf file.Sometimes it's
handier to send it to a file like /var/log/kernel instead of messages.
2) set up the netdump and netconsole services (see netdump and
netdump-server rpms) to a remote host so you can catch the dump
(especially
if you aren't getting anywhere with the "Oops" message.

Anyone have some advice on how to debug a Kernel Panic? All I have is a
cryptic message from the console. Does Linux provide a dump file like
Solaris does?
