- [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.kernel.org. (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, which
- reports the version of some important subsystems. Run this script 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
- [1.] One line summary of the problem:
- [2.] Full description of the problem/report:
- [3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):
- [4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):
- [5.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information
- resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)
- [6.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the
- problem (if possible)
- [7.] Environment
- [7.1.] Software (add the output of the ver_linux script here)
- [7.2.] Processor information (from /proc/cpuinfo):
- [7.3.] Module information (from /proc/modules):
- [7.4.] Loaded driver and hardware information (/proc/ioports, /proc/iomem)
- [7.5.] PCI information ('lspci -vvv' as root)
- [7.6.] SCSI information (from /proc/scsi/scsi)
- [7.7.] Other information that might be relevant to the problem
- (please look in /proc and include all information that you
- think to be relevant):
- [X.] Other notes, patches, fixes, workarounds:
- Thank you
