I'm trying to track down some IDE problems (probably hardware), so I try using the early-boot debugger, with 'boot -sd'. No matter what I do in the debugger-- even just immediately continue out of it-- the kernel fails to detect my IDE drives and panics on not finding a root fs. If I set a breakpoint, after the breakpoint is hit, I get pagefaults when I give any command. I think this bug knows where I live. I saw this about a week ago then got tied up by other things. --jh -- Mr. Belliveau said, "the difference was the wise, John Hood, cgull intelligent look on the face of the cow." He was @ *so* right. --Ofer Inbar smoke.marlboro.vt.us
