Hi,

I am having problems with DDB while setting breakpoints in the kernel. I
entered the DDB by giving kernel -d at boot prompt. After that I tried to
set break point at ip_output() by giving "b ip_output". But it complains
saying that "sumbol not found". I thought this might be due to stripped
kernel.( I configured the kernel with -g option), so I installed the
unstripped kernel. Still I am getting the same error message from DDB. Why
it is not setting break points? Am I missing some thing?

In the handbook chap 21, Note says: Note that if you have an older version
of boot blocks. your debugger symbols might not be loaded at all. Update
the bopot blocks;

I am having a doubt that is it due to older version of boot blocks? I am
running FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE. How do I findout that whether my boot blocks
are older? In the first place is it the reason for DDB complaining about
symbols not found?

Any help is appreciated.

thanks
