Hi I am using the following method to debug a KLD on 4.1 using gdb remote debugging: - Add makeoptions DEBUG=-g to the kernel config - Compile the KLD with -ggdb - Use objdump -h to get the offset of .text in the KLD. - Add this value to the value reported by kldstat and use this as offset for the gdb add-symbol-file command. The problem is that variable values reported by gdb seems to be total garbage. If I add explicit printf's in the C code, the value printed on the console is correct but the values given by gdb are totally different. Everything else seems to be working - I can do a break <function_name_in_kld> and the breakpoint will be set correctly. Any help will be greatly appreciated. jacques __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products.
