I love this!!! The pause button was incredibly useful when trying to figure out what went wrong with DOS boot sequence. I wonder if it would be possible to include support for it in Linux kernel? Sometimes I would like to read those messages that fly over the screen (no, dmesg is not enough)...
- simias 11y agoThis program doesn't pause the kernel, just the game's process. Other people in this thread have given equivalent solutions for un*x. If you want to actually pause the linux kernel you'll have to use something like the magic SysRq: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key Alternatively you can run the operating system in an emulator like qemu.
- simoncion 11y agoWhy isn't dmesg (combined with syslog to catch messages from daemon startup) enough? I've dramatically increased the size of the kernel ring buffer (so it -in practice- doesn't evict any message) and done ...something... -I can't remember what- to push early dmesg output into syslog.
