I thought procfs was optional, but it doesn't look like, since libkvm reads the /proc/<pid>/mem files. BTW, libkvm should only try to grab /proc/<pid>/mem from if ISALIVE(kd) is true.. Otherwise doing a ps on a dead kernel is going to look pretty interesting.. :-) Also, it sounds like it's time to put a warning in GENERIC and LINT saying that procfs is needed for 'ps' and 'gdb' to work completely. (gdb uses it to attach to processes) -Peter
