Vielleicht im Falle OpenBSD dies aus der FAQ:
4.9 - Sending your dmesg to
dmesg@openbsd.org after the install
Just to remind people, it's important for the OpenBSD developers to keep track of what hardware works, and what hardware doesn't work perfectly.
A quote from /usr/src/etc/root/root.mail
If you wish to ensure that OpenBSD runs better on your machines, please do us
a favor (after you have your mail system configured!) and type something like:
# dmesg | mail -s "Sony VAIO 505R laptop, apm works OK"
dmesg@openbsd.org
so that we can see what kinds of configurations people are running. As shown,
including a bit of information about your machine in the subject or the body
can help us even further. We will use this information to improve device driver
support in future releases. (Please do this using the supplied GENERIC kernel,
not for a custom compiled kernel, unless you're unable to boot the GENERIC
kernel). The device driver information we get from this helps us fix existing
drivers. Thank you!
Make sure you send email from an account that is able to also receive email so developers can contact you if they have something they want you to test or change in order to get your setup working. It's not important at all to send the email from the same machine that is running OpenBSD, so if that machine is unable to receive email, just
$ dmesg | mail
your-account@yourmail.dom
and then forward that message to
dmesg@openbsd.org
where
your-account@yourmail.dom is your regular email account. (or transfer the dmesg output using ftp/scp/floppydisk/carrier-pigeon/...)
NOTE - Please send only GENERIC kernel dmesgs. Custom kernels that have device drivers removed are not helpful.
