Dave: What symbols can you not access exactly and how are you installing/setting up debugging? I just built a RELENG_7 with DDB and I'm able to access bce symbols without a problem. I can examine them and call them. I'm not using options GDB however, only KDB/DDB. I would: - Make sure you have the right if_bce.ko/if_bce.ko.symbols files generated/installed which contains the debug sections of your ko (from the objcopy calls during the build - the binary is stripped with a section pointer to the if_bce.ko.symbols file for debugging information I believe) - If you are using GDB, make sure its pointed to the right source base so it can retrieve symbol information correctly - If you are using GDB, stub it out and just use DDB to verify that your build is sane (it works for me!) - If all else fails, you can always build bce statically (just to move forward etc.) -aps _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
