It looked like I had some memory corruption somewhere on the stack (since backtraces were never useful). So, I decided to try to debug somemore at home. I installed kdb into a 2.2.19 kernel (required a little massaging, but no major changes from the patch). The first thing I noticed was that my ethernet module was crashing on startup.

After several more clean tests (with 2.2.18 as well), it was determined that kdb was *causing* the panics it was meant to observe. Has anyone else had any experiences like that? You can reproduce my crash with a vanilla 2.2.19 or 2.2.18 kernel, and a 3com Vortex card with the driver loaded as a module (3c59x).

I am using 2.2.16 and the system works fine. But once I start using kdb the ethernet stops working. The card does not pick up any packet from the network. (I don;t even break into netif_rx). I am still looking into the problem. I think the prolem might be with the card driver and somehow it gets triggered by kdb. I am using rtl8139 module for my cards. -- Srikant On Tue, 3 Apr 2001, David Frascone wrote: > I've been chasing a bug for some time. (Not my project, I was dropped onto > it.)

Any idea? If the keyboard leds are flashing then you are in kdb, but you are not seeing the kdb prompt. SuSe ships with a configuration that moves the console away from tty (current virtual terminal) and displays console messages on another vt, somewhere around tty6. To see the kdb messages you must be on the console, either switch to the console tty first or remove the SuSe specific console routing.
