Otherwise you have to do other fun stuff to read in the symbols from the module. FWIW, if you are doing development or running -current, use a static kernel. If you are writing a specific device driver, then use a module for that, but make the rest of your kernel static. It's just easier that way. Also, for reading module symbols in, I think there is a relatiely easy way to do this now in gdb, but I don't know what it is. Of course, gdb -k is kind of broken right now because it hasn't caught up to the latest round of per-cpu changes.. > DocWilco -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
