RE: Capturing dmesg upon system crash on 6.3

I'm looking into the syslogd capabilities at the moment, it might be
enough.
I've tried following the serial console setup you've pointed, but when I
added the 'console="comconsole"' to loader.conf the OS hanged during
boot time, had to re-install the system.

I'm currently porting Mellanox ethernet driver, InfiniBand will be
probably next. Mail me outside this list if you're interested in
InfiniBand.

I'm facing a system reboot upon loading of the driver, and
I could use
a tool for capturing dmesg upon system crash (such as netconsole on
Linux).

May be serial console will help you?

Out of curiosity: are you porting some InfiniBand drivers to FreeBSD?
