Ctrl-Alt-Esc. :-) Yes, it works, but DDB is so crippled compared to GDB, it makes debugging a pain. > > Serial console is practically useless if you have to work via USB-RS232 > > adapter.

Unfortunately, it's the other way around: laptop (problematic machine) only provides USB, while desktop box has both real serial and USB ports. > Hmmm, call doadump fails, but that means you can get into ddb? Yes, I can. However, why doadump fails is another mystery. I recall someone reported similar problem with doadump few years ago, but cannot tell you all the details now. > Firewire works well, and is very cheap.

Yes, it is. Unfortunately, Attilio does not work on this project any longer. He kindly offered his help though if someone would be willing to pick it up. It's on my list, but I do not know when/if I will have enough time to gid into it. ./danfe
