I am assuming the problem is hardware (seems to be the consensus from the archives) but to investigate further I have enabled core dumps etc. When I try a "gdb -k" here's what happens: # gdb -k /sys/compile/MYKERNEL/kernel vmcore.4 GNU gdb 4.18 Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

(kgdb) where No stack. (kgdb) q Is this a gdb (version) problem or what? The archives revealed two people asking this question and no answers.
