--_002_F46C10D2F60F034BB106EAB4CD7E833C7A463EFBC9ntqexnanoteqc_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable Hi there I'm experiencing the following problem: All is well when I boot the standard= FreeBSD 8.2 GENERIC kernel.=A0 The moment however when I comment out the li= ne the line below, the kernel hangs upon boot after detecting the em0 device= (the motherboard has 2 Intel 8257x dual Gigabit Ethernet cards). makeopts=A0=A0 DEBUG=3D-g I'm using FreeBSD 8.2 on a WADE-8020 motherboard with an Intel QM57 chipset= and Intel Core i5 CPU.=A0 The reason I'm trying to remove debugging options from the kernel is that I= am trying to make the kernel footprint smaller. This leaves me with a few questions: 1) What are the risks/drawbacks/advantages of leaving debugging symbols in t= he kernel? 2) Why would debug symbols (of all things!) make the difference between a wo= rking and non-working kernel? 3) Does this point in the direction of some other (more serious problem perh= aps?) with the hardware and/or other kernel drivers? Thanks so much for any assistance.
