Hello, I've done kernel development on a variety of Unix systems. What I have appears to be a hung system. Same symtom on 2.2.7 & 2.2.8. I've got kernel ppp configured (user-level would not work for me) on a USR03030 Sportster X2 mumble. It is a 333 Pentium from Micron. Everything works until I stress the modem, for example, by ftp'ing a large file. I've eliminated X software by reproducing it on the text console. All things appear to hang, though I don't have a network to check it for life over the net. What I would like to do is interupt the system and get a thread list or stack from the thread the CPU is on. UnixWare has a kernel debugger that you can use directly on the console and an interupt keyboard sequence. I've put in the options DDB and BREAK_TO_ DEBUGGER, however, p. 255 of "The Complete FreeBSD" indicates that BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER only works if you have the console redirected to a serial port. I don't happen to have a VT100 handy and configuring my Pilot to act as one is a lot of work just to run the debugger. Any suggestions? If there is a better way for me to submit this problem, please let me know. Alan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
