Ok. I have a pretty good idea as to what might be going on now; thanks for the input. If you want to do something really helpful, print the values of bootinfo.bi_symtab and bootinfo.bi_esymtab in the non-debugger kernel, and then load it with btxboot and the loader. Put a printf somewhere in machdep.c, eg. around about where it tests to call userconfig(). My guess is that there's something wrong with the symbol table information coming in, and it causes ddb to explode. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
