I have tried to follow chapter 19 in the handbook, but I havn't got it
working the way I understood it should.
The handbook says:
The DDB commands roughly resemble some gdb commands. The first you
probably need is to set a breakpoint:
b function-name
b address
But if I try to use the b function-name I always get the response that
there is no symbol with that name (I have tried different function names).
My kernel has the OPTION DDB and is configured with -d and it is not
stripped.
I have the same problem when I try to look at data in memory with the x
command, why is this?
