Hi Bastien,

Please edit the /etc/sysctl.conf on your machine and add/adjust/uncomment the following line..

ddb.console=0                   # 1=Permit entry of ddb from the console

By default, you could escape to the ddb/KDB from the console. Activity on the serial port like a reboot on the other side of the serial cable can trigger that escape.

  I allways disable ddb.console now. Bitten too often in the past.

Cheers

Y.


Quoting Bastien Durel <[email protected]>:

Hello,

I have a Soekris Net-4501 running flasboot/OpenBSD-4.5

uname -a
OpenBSD fremen 4.5 SOEKRIS4501#0 i386

when I connect a NULL-modem cable to an USB serial port, I often
experience kernel panics.
They can be "solved" by typing 'c' on the KDB console. But I must be
physically present. Sometimes it hangs when I'm remote, if the cable is
plugged -- especially when the attached computer is shut down.

Have you experienced these kind of problem ? Is there a trick to not
suffer them ?

Regards,
