Hi Folks: I'm debugging an issue with a third-party driver that causes an NMI during driver initialization. It only occurs for one version of the driver thus far. I want to isolate what triggers the NMI and generally get a feel for the initialization of the hardware.
I'm running a 6.x-amd64 kernel. Can someone explain to me why when I compile the kernel with default debugging options (makeoptions -g, options DDB/KDB etc. etc.) the kernel comes and boots BUT if I remove -O2 and -frename-registers (in an effort to make text even close to readible), the kernel boots and then double-faults on mounting root? I guess more importantly, what's the RIGHT way to build a DDB/KDB friendly kernel? I thought -O2 and/or -frename-registers could cause DDB to act up but perhaps I'm wrong. Thanks! -aps _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
