Hi all,

 I'm trying to install LKCD on Zaurus Linux(Xscale).
What I am worried about is where a crash dump is saved.
I think there are two possibilities shown below.
  (1)SD card (in this case /dev/mmcda)
     Is it possible?
     So far, I've not seen any documents that says SD card
     is used for storing a crash dump.

  (2)Network (in this case USB) 
     In order to use network dump, should USB device driver 
     be a polling-driven driver? (currently intterrupt-driven driver) 
     Or, do I have to make a change to a current driver so that it 
     works as a polling-driven mode only if Oops or panic occures.

Any advice would be appreciated,

Rimpei Sosa.
