Hello. After a crash the box got into the kernel debugger. All my attempts to leave the debugger and continue operation were in vain. What I did: 1. Tried 'continue'. It just prints the trap message once again. 2. Tried 'panic'. It says 'Panic from debugger, Uptime 0s' and hangs. No disk activity, no more messages. I waited about 5 minutes. 3. Cold restart. After a cold restart the kernel would drop into ddb again and again. There was no way to boot the box. The only way out for me was to mount the fixit floopy and 'mv kernel.old kernel'. Only after that I was able to boot. BTW I found out that chflags was not on the floppy, but it is another story. Is this behaviour of ddb correct? How do I get out of it next time? And why did cold restart not help? Thanks for any input. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN 2:5005/149@fidonet http://vas.tomsk.ru/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
