Hi Steve,
You are absolutely correct. Thanks!
And thanks for doing work on a PowerPC port. From an lcrash point of
view, you can do a lot of work without actually having LKCD kernel
functionality in place. As long as you have a "namelist" file you
can start up lcrash on a live system. You need to make sure that
you run the configure script in lkcdutils with the --topdir flag
set to your kernel source tree (if it's not /usr/src/linux). You will
then be able to do a 'make namelist' from within the libklib directory.
Use the resulting namelist in the following manner:
# lcrash /boot/System.map /dev/mem namelist
You will then be able to work on the architecture specific stuff like
stack traces for running tasks. Or, you may already be beyond this point.
Thanks again,
Tom
Take care,
Tom
