While the e-mail was not specifically targeted to the OpenSuse 
community, the content is important to everyone in the community. We 
cannot forget that processor errors create symptoms that are hard to 
track and debug.

Fred, while you get toasted on this list, I never get an answer. I am 
still have no idea what OpenSuse is doing with LKCD. It was heavily 
maintained by the SUSE community until release 10.0. It know seams to 
have joined the list of unsupported packages. I have communicated with 
the author of LKCD, and he does not track the SUSE implementation of 
LKCD. Sadly, it was a great kernel debugging tool that offered a 
granularity in dumps not provided by any current kernel dump tool.
