I thought the '-g' flag created two kernels, kernel and kernel.debug. I've always found I can run with kernel, then just pass kernel.debug to 'gdb -k' after a panic/reboot (see below). > The only problem is that the > machine no longer can be used in unattended mode as it drops into the > debugger on panic. options DDB_UNATTENDED # reboot after panics is fine for me (so long as savecore is enabled and you have enough swap). Mr Lucas (he of blackhelicopter fame) did a good howto at: http://www.onlamp.com/lpt/a//bsd/2002/04/04/Big_Scary_Daemons.html (that's part 2 - part 1 is linked from there) (Not for Nicks benefit, I just thought it explained stuff well in case anyone else on the list in unsure how to do this). -- Rasputin :: Jack of All Trades - Master of Nuns :: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
