Umm, it's the other way around.. DDB can't see a.out LKM's for debugging. DDB *can* see both a.out and elf KLD modules. KLD modules are the first time that DDB has worked with modular kernels. It's GDB that is the problem - it can't see KLD modules. Mind you, it can't see LKM's either. > Karl > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message > Cheers, -Peter -- Peter Wemm Netplex Consulting "No coffee, No workee!" :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
