Default Bug reporting

Hi
Im running 4.3-current and ive come across a nice little hardware bug that causes a pannic and drops me to a ddb> prompt. I know i need to send off a dmesg, but they also ask for a backtrace with the dbug messages, I really need to know the right ddb> commands and if they output the disk somewhere more useful than just stdout

Thanks

In case you haven't done so, you could configure the problematic box as serial console.

That saves you from the trouble of having to manually copy the output.

ddb output can also be "captured" in a core dump and displayed after reboot with dmesg(8) -M / -N. After collecting a backtrace, and perhaps a process list (trace/ps), issue "boot dump" to ddb. The core dump will be saved in /var/dump during reboot.

thanks i really dont have the disposition to copy all that output by hand, ive done it with boot error messages before and its not the fun computing i normally enjoy. I'll get the latest 4.4-beta then send off by bug reports
