I tried to build a debug kernel yesterday and when I booted it,
it printed an error and rebooted faster than I could read the 
screen. This went on until we brought up kernel.old.

steps I took to build the kernel (from 3.0-980128-SNAP):

   o  cp GENERIC DEBUG
   o  added "OPTIONS DDB" to DEBUG 
   o  config -g DEBUG
   o  make depend && make && make install
   o  reboot
   o  did NOT specify any options to kernel at boot time
      we wanted to get control when a panic occurred.

This is what kernel.old shows at startup:

Sorry I don't have any more info.

Anyone else having problems with a debug kernel.
