Hi, I got my first kernel panic in ten years! (Was attempting to add a 32nd zvol-backed drive to a bhyve guest.) This host didn't have kernel debug symbols. I went to install them and discovered my host needed updates. Thoughtlessly, I grabbed the new kernel and the new symbols. Oops. You can't debug a 15.0 kernel on 15.0p3. bucket/var/crash;kgdb -n 0 kgdb: couldn't find a suitable kernel image I have a 15.0 boot environment I could boot into, if there's a way to install the debugging symbols? Or is there a way to pull the old kernel and debug symbols down on the current BE? On dch's advice I tried setting the pkg.conf URL: url: "pkg+https://cloudfront.aws.pkgbase.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/base_release_ 0/" but got: pkg: No SRV record found for the repo 'FreeBSD-base' Thanks, ==ml PS: I shoulda just done make world, that way I'd have /boot/kernel.old. ;-) -- Michael W.(Warren) Lucas https://mwl.link/home | help
