[linux-dvb] Re: problems with dmxSctFilterParams and NEWSTRUCT

[jhall@UU.NET (Jeremy Hall)]

Hi,

I have spent the last hour or so trying to get the output you have
requested.  I have concluded it is quite difficult to get it because the
sysrq stuff does not seem to log the information it dumps to the
screen.  I am sure the sysrq commands are  being recognized because I can
force the machine to reboot.

The last thing I am trying is 

cat /proc/kmsg >file

and killing klogd before doing that.

nope, it refuses to give me the needed logging.  I need another volounteer
to find this.  either that or a better way to get the information that is
required.

I do not get viruses because I do not use MS software.
If you use Outlook then please do not put my email address in your
address-book so that WHEN you get a virus it won't use my address in the
From field.
