Hi there
I'm experiencing the following problem: All is well when I boot the standard
FreeBSD 8.2 GENERIC kernel. The moment however 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 Ethernet 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) What are the risks/drawbacks/advantages of leaving debugging symbols in the
kernel?
2) Why would debug symbols (of all things!) make the difference between a
working and non-working kernel?
3) 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.
