Probably the line speed is wrong.

This should give 38400.  Is that what you want?

This was broken the day before the SNAP and fixed the day after.

`gdb -k /kernel /dev/mem' is the best available if you don't have ddb
compiled into the kernel.  gdb has been able to disassemble files with
only non-debugging symbols for some time.  However, symbol lookup for
disassembly seems to be broken.  `disass mi_switch' gives "No function
contains specified address".  `disass 0xf0115c20 0xf0115cff' works.  It
even finds mi_switch!?

I normally use the kernel debugger.

>program -- is there none?  Also, no crash program.  Finally,

`gdb -k /var/crash/kernelname /var/crash/corename' sort of works, as
above, on crash dumps even when the kernel isn't compiled with -g.

See also kernel-debug.FAQ.
