The LKCD (Linux Kernel Crash Dump)
project is a set of kernel patches and utilities to allow a copy
of the kernel memory to be saved in the event of a kernel panic.
The saved kernel image makes forensics on the kernel panic
possible with utilities included in the package. Most commercial
Unix operating systems come with similar crash utilities, but
this package is fairly new to Linux and has to be added on
manually. The LKCD utility is not designed to gather helpful
information in the case of a hardware caused panic or a segment
violation. The complete LKCD package is available for download at
http://lkcd.sourceforge.net/.
