I'm using Vinum as an > lkm because I can debug it that way. The current situation is that DDB can find symbols in kld modules. It is possible to get gdb to see them too with a carefully crafted add-symbol-file command. I seem to remember that you had a gdb macro for automatically adding symbols for loaded LKMs. I imagine that writing a similar script for KLD would be fairly easy. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
