https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=226015 Bug ID: 226015 Summary: [patch] outdated debug kernel location and kgdb binary location Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Keywords: patch Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Documentation Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: philneaton95@gmail.com Keywords: patch Created attachment 190766 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=190766&action=edit diff of docs changes The docs don't mention that kgdb is not installed in a directory in PATH so it took me a while to figure out what the docs were talking about. Eventually I ran `find / -name "*kgdb*` and discovered /lib/userexec/kgdb which is the only such binary installed on my system on 12-CURRENT. The location of the debug kernel was also incorrect in the docs and that took my a while to figure out. These two changes allowed me to finally debug my kernel panics on 12-CURRENT. If there are better solutions or changes to be made, let me know. Thank you! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
