x86: Forcing a Crash Dump and Rebooting the System

Saving core dumps of the operating system is sometimes necessary for troubleshooting purposes. The savecore command is used to enable this feature. It can be turned on automatically by editing the /etc/init.d/sysetup script.

The savecore feature and how to set it up is described in Chapter 69, Generating and Saving System Crash Information. This section only describes how to reboot the system if the savecore feature is enabled.
