Hi, I compiled my FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE kernel with options KDB, DDB makeoptions DEBUG="-g" and wrote a kernel module that does nothing but call panic() upon its loading, to try experimenting on crash kernel debugger and crash dump. Upon kldload the module, KDB was invoked and I was dropped into a console debugger that let me see the backtrace by typing "where". However, when I typed "panic" as suggested by the FAQ, it doesn't dump anything to my swap device. Only by typing "call doadump" in the KDB that it does the job. I wonder why? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Yours truly, Tan, Wei Chong. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
