>Description:
Following the faq I tried to examine a kernel core dump with gdb.

However, the result of running bt in the kernel debugger and in gdb while examinig the core file produces very different results.

Does this still happen? If it hasn't been fixed, I'd like to get it fixed

 I have no idea. I got rid of the CPxJ notebook and I don't get crashes
 on the one I am still using.

 If it works for you then it might have been some issue with the power
 management messing up the kernel. After all, it crashed on suspend or
 resume. Or it's already fixed.

 Thanks

 Michal

State-Changed-Why:
I don't have an i386 that has space for crashdumps (nor have I had any
crashes in a while on any of those) so I don't know if the problem with
crashdumps remains, or even if it ever affected anyone else.

Anybody want to speak up?
