Hello everyone I have a two-part question: I have a minimally customized GENERIC kernel, with the only changes being: options KDB options KDB_UNATTENDED options DDB and 'sysctl debug.debugger_on_panic' shows: debug.debugger_on_panic: 0 However, after a panic loading the vboxdrv.ko module, the machine did not reboot automatically after reboot. Here are my questions: 1) Would enabling DDB in the kernel prevent an automatic reboot after a panic? 2) Does the debugger wait for XX seconds of console inactivity before rebooting? I was under the impression from the handbook that the machine would instantly reboot and after dumping the crash to vmcore0. Is this assumption incorrect? Thanks in advance for any input. -- Glen Barber http://www.dev-urandom.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/glenjbarber
