I'm trying to enable the kernel persistent storage (pstore) in order to help debug a module which malfunctions and freezes my laptop on suspend, but I'm having difficulties doing so. My kernel (4.1.20) config with related parameters is
# gunzip -c /proc/config.gz | grep PSTORE
CONFIG_CHROMEOS_PSTORE=m
CONFIG_PSTORE=y
CONFIG_PSTORE_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_PSTORE_PMSG is not set
# CONFIG_PSTORE_FTRACE is not set
CONFIG_PSTORE_RAM=m
I have also tried loading the ramoops module, but when I do
# cat /sys/module/pstore/parameters/backend
(null)
it doesn't seem to have enabled anything. /sys/fs/pstore is empty as well, altough mount says that it is mounted. I have tried to panic my kernel using this but nothing showed up.
What am I doing wrong? Is it even supposed to work on a normal laptop, or am I completely in the dark? I could not find very much while looking for this feature.
