I have got no replies. Some body take some time to clarify this? thanks --gb -- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2000 10:57:49 +0530 (IST) From: G.B.Naidu To: freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Cc: freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: DDB is not setting break points... 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 --gb -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
