Comment 30 for bug 984273

Well, I ran the mainline 3.4.0 overnight with no ill effects. I'm currently back on Precise current kernel. How do I install the Oneiric kernel? I can install mainline kernels all day long, but I've never tried installing a kernel from an older release onto a newer release... is there a wiki or something you can point me to so I can try that?

Also, the thing that triggered this was teh SysRq messages that hit klog/syslogd so hard that they were being written to the log files all munged together. I'm trying to get the actual syslog from this, but it's difficult as the file is 3.9GB in size, thanks to at least 19 million identical Emergency Thaw messages, malformed messages and stack traces. I'm culling out a lot of the duplicated cruft and trying to get the log down to a reasonable size to upload for you, but it's slow going as vi apparently wants to load the entire file into memory to edit it, and then deleting a million lines at a time takes a bit :)

Finally, I do NOT know what triggered this, and it's only happened the one time, so far. Just FYI.
