Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I am having problems with DDB while setting breakpoints in the kernel. I entered the DDB by giving kernel -d at boot prompt. After that I tried to set break point at ip_output() by giving "b ip_output". But it complains saying that "sumbol not found". I thought this might be due to stripped kernel.( I configured the kernel with -g option), so I installed the unstripped kernel. Still I am getting the same error message from DDB. Why it is not setting break points? Am I missing some thing? In the handbook chap 21, Note says: Note that if you have an older version of boot blocks. your debugger symbols might not be loaded at all. Update the bopot blocks; I am having a doubt that is it due to older version of boot blocks? I am running FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE. How do I findout that whether my boot blocks are older? In the first place is it the reason for DDB complaining about symbols not found? Any help is appreciated. thanks --gb -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
