Hi there
I'm experiencing the following problem: All is we= ll when I boot the
standard FreeBSD 8.2 GENERIC kernel. The moment howeve= r when I
comment out the line the line below, the kernel hangs upon boot after
detecting the em0 device (the motherboard has 2 Intel 8257x dual
Gigabit Eth= ernet cards).
makeopts = ; DEBUG=-g
I'm using FreeBSD 8.2 on a WADE-8020 motherboard= with an Intel QM57
chipset and Intel Core i5 CPU.
The reason I'm trying to remove debugging options= from the kernel is
that I am trying to make the kernel footprint smaller.
This leaves me with a few questions:
1)&nb= sp; What are the risks/drawbacks/advantages of leaving
debugging symbols in the kernel?
2)&nb= sp; Why would debug symbols (of all things!) make the
difference between a working and non-working kernel?
3)&nb= sp; Does this point in the direction of some other (more
serious problem perhaps?) with the hardware and/or other kernel
drivers?
Thanks so much for any assistance.
Regards,
