(y or n) y I was seeing this error before libkvm and gdb were fixed. On CURRENT, with a recent world and gdb this error should not be seen. To get all fixes, a base system later than February 7 and a gdb from ports later than February 27 must be used. > By contrast, GNU gdb 6.1.1 [FreeBSD] got: The older gdb from base is known to have many issues, that are probably not going to be fixed. > Attempting a non-minidump hung up during > the dump, much like for powerpc64. I've worked only on minidumps for powerpc64. Full dumps were not touched at all, so if they didn't work before, they probably won't work now. > I'm not so sure that the current G4 > behavior should be classified with this > submittal.

I don't have G4/G5 hardware to test this. G4s are 32-bit, right? I wouldn't expect minidumps to work on them, as their kernel and libkvm specific parts would need to be added/fixed. But minidumps should work on G5, I think, although I wasn't able to test it. So, maybe mark this as fixed and track minidumps not working on G5 as anoth= er issue and minidump support on G4 as an enhancement? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
