Hey, After adding KDB, KDB_UNATTENDED and DDB, two of my 5.3-STABLE servers never came back after a reboot. After talking to the datacenter, they informed me these servers are trying to boot of /kernel and not /boot/kernel/kernel .. What might be causing this behaviour ? /kernel was 4.X and these servers never knew what 4.X was. This only happened after adding KDB, KDB_UNATTENDED and DDB to the kernel config, I had recompiled the kernel before and it never tried to look /kernel instead of /boot/kernel/kernel # file /kernel /kernel: cannot open (/kernel) # file /boot/kernel/kernel /boot/kernel/kernel: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped I rebuilt a kernel on my FreeBSD home gateway (also 5.3-STABLE) and also adding GDB, I didn't have this problem. Is there any loader.conf variable which sets the kernel that should be booted ? Thanks in advance! Regards, Hugo
