------------------------------------------------------------------------
# [Some of this is taken from Frohwalt Egerer's original
linux-kernel FAQ]
#
# What follows is a suggested procedure for reporting Linux bugs.
You
# aren't obliged to use the bug reporting format, it is provided
as a guide
# to the kind of information that can be useful to developers -
no more.
#
# If the failure includes an "OOPS:" type message in your log or
on
# screen please read "Documentation/oops-tracing.txt" before
posting your
# bug report. This explains what you should do with the "Oops"
information
# to make it useful to the recipient.
#
# Send the output the maintainer of the kernel area that seems
to
# be involved with the problem. Don't worry too much about
getting the
# wrong person. If you are unsure send it to the person
responsible for the
# code relevant to what you were doing. If it occurs repeatably
try and
# describe how to recreate it. That is worth even more than the
oops itself.
# The list of maintainers is in the MAINTAINERS file in this
directory.
#
# If you are totally stumped as to whom to send the report, send
it to
# linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu.
(For more information on the linux-kernel
# mailing list see http://www.tux.org/lkml/).
#
# This is a suggested format for a bug report sent to the Linux
kernel mailing
# list. Having a standardized bug report form makes it easier for
you not to
# overlook things, and easier for the developers to find the
pieces of
# information they're really interested in. Don't feel you have
to follow it.
#
# First run the ver_linux script included as scripts/ver_linux
or
# at <URL:ftp://ftp.sai.msu.su/pub/Linux/ver_linux>
It checks out
# the version of some important subsystems. Run it with the
command
# "sh scripts/ver_linux"
#
# Use that information to fill in all fields of the bug report
form, and
# post it to the mailing list with a subject of "PROBLEM: <one
line
# summary from [1.]>" for easy identification by the
developers
#
------------------------------------------------------------------------
# indent by one tabstop
function tabout () { sed -e '/^/s// /'; }

This is a script-generated kernel bug report.
The system administrator/developer should provide additional
information
where appropriate.
