As a general rule, you should direct questions about distribution specific patches to the distribution, not to this list. Mainly because distributions make their own changes. But I'm in a good mood so ... Which version of SuSE SLES 9? SLES9 base has kdb v4.3, and SuSE changed the KDB serial entry sequence from control-A to startKDB, but only for the powerpc build. SLES9 SP1 has kdb v4.4, which uses escape-KDB as the entry sequence. There is a message early in boot that says which version of kdb you are using. Watch out for minicom, it uses control-A as its own sequence. To send control-A to the kernel over minicom, you have to press it twice. Which is one of the reasons that the sequence changed from kdb v4.3 to v4.4. --------------------------- Use http://oss.sgi.com/ecartis to modify your settings or to unsubscribe.

I don't think kdb does anything to force the serial port to be opened. Enabling a login on the serial port might make the difference.

SLES9 SP1 has kdb v4.4 which uses KDB as the entry sequence. It works fine for me on an ia64 box. Remember that you must have a user program reading from the serial port in order for the kernel to read anything over the serial line. IOW, you must be running getty or equvalent on the serial line. This is an annoying kernel restriction, if there is no user space program reading from the serial port then the kernel ignores all serial input. --------------------------- Use http://oss.sgi.com/ecartis to modify your settings or to unsubscribe.

There exists my patch for the 2.4.25 kernel that Keith has in the 4.3 directory. Is there some feature that it doesnt have you want? The code for 2.6 uses kernel hooks that are not in the 2.4 kernel, if they were I would probably port back that code myself :) The existing 2.4 patch could still be polished more I suppose but its not like a port is needed.

I hacked it to cross compile for x86_64 (by changing a few elf header variables). the 2.4.25 patch for kdb works with this version of kallsyms. I need a kallsyms that works for all architectures such as xscale, i386, x86_64. In the sources, there is talk of a rewrite of kallsyms. Has this been done? If not, I can spend a few days on it. I was thinking of making kallsyms read the header and use the appropriate object loader for the architecture (xscale, x86_64, ia32, ppc) to load the object once it finds a matching elf header. Has this work been started or already done? I looked at the 2.4 modutils package (2.4.26 I think?) and it doesn't appear to be done there. I don't see any later version of modutils. please copy me my mail server is having problems and caused my registration from this list to be bounced.

I don't see any later version of modutils. http://oss.sgi.com/archives/kdb/2003-04/msg00018.html - I could never get kksymoops into the 2.4 kernel so I gave up on making kallsyms platform independent. BTW, it is not as simple as you think. Both word sizes and endianess vary between platforms. Every structure used by kallsyms needs to work in crfoss platform mode, including routines to convert from the build endianess to the target endianess as each structure is read from or written to disk. Those routines have to work on a field by field basis. --------------------------- Use http://oss.sgi.com/ecartis to modify your settings or to unsubscribe.

SLES9 SP1 has kdb v4.4 which uses KDB as the entry sequence. It works fine for me on an ia64 box. Remember that you must have a user program reading from the serial port in order for the kernel to read anything over the serial line. IOW, you must be running getty or equvalent on the serial line. This is an annoying kernel restriction, if there is no user space program reading from the serial port then the kernel ignores all serial input. --------------------------- Use http://oss.sgi.com/ecartis to modify your settings or to unsubscribe.

I did go and ask Red Hat, and the answer I got was essentially: "Go away, all debuggers are evil, and we won't allow one in Red Hat!" Now, I still give many kudos to the Red Hat sales person who tried everything in her power to get an answer for us that would solve our problem, but every place she turned within the Red Hat engineering community got the same stock answer seen above. The bottom line was she ran into a brick wall at every turn she took. The brick wall is a religion about how awful debuggers are.. I will never understand this attitude.. A debugger is never a substitute for understanding the code.. It IS however just one tool that can help one to understand the code.. It is not a panacea or a crutch, but to say that it has no place in the OS, and that there are no problems for which a debugger is the correct tool is just silly. To say that because some group of people used a tool badly means that the tool should be taken from everyone is a very strange argument. By that logic, since there are people who have used butter knives as a screw driver, we should ban butter knives.. This has been hashed out, over, and over, and over again, so please, don't forward this to more lists as it will only start a pointless flame war.. If anyone feels the need to flame someone, flame me directly without copying the list... Bottom line Red Hat has so changed the 2.4.x kernel that there is no easy way to apply the 2.4.x kdb patch anymore. You would have to get kdb from Red Hat, and they don't have it to give.. They don't even use it in-house. In the end, Red Hat made it so hard to do business with them, (they wanted $25K just to get started with them) that we told them to jump in a lake and moved to SuSE 9.1 Pro... kdb is built into this right from SuSE, and all you have to do is recompile to get it.. Been a VERY stable OS to work with, we're very happy with it! -Charlie Note: These opinions are my own, and do not reflect the opinions of my employer.
