Mah >Release: FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE i386 >Organization: Sandia National Laboratories >Environment: >Description: In the FAQ, hackers.html has an item titled "Making the most of a kernel panic". Part of this item shows how to create a kernel with debugging symbols. Due to changes in the kernel build process since this text was written, it needs a little updating. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: The bullets "cp kernel kernel.debug", "strip -d kernel", "mv kernel /kernel.orig/" [sic], and "cp kernel /" can all be replaced with "make install". It might also be good to add a sentence to the effect that in the build directory, kernel.debug has debugging symbols and kernel is stripped (since this fact is no longer obvious). >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
