[uml-user] question on gdb debugging

2005-07-05 Thread Allan Graves
I'm working with uml on a 2.6.9.5-EL-smp RedHat 4AS system. I've got it compiled with TT support and proxy thread support, since the host is running a stock kernel, which as far as I can tell for RedHat, doesn't support SKAS mode. I'm trying to gdb the kernel, and when I issue the kill -USR1

[uml-user] Question on an updated howto for debugging modules using 2.6.9+

2005-07-06 Thread Allan Graves
I've seen lots of questions about debugging modules using gdb under 2.6.9+ kernels, but very few answers, at least that I've found through use of sourceforge's search function. Is there a collection or an updated HOWTO like the one on the uml sourceforge page on how to debug loadable modules u

Okay, I'm using TT mode on a 2.4 host, with a 2.6 guest. When I send the kill -USR1 to get gdb, all i get is: - GNU gdb Red Hat Linux (6.1post-1.20040607.52rh) Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc. GDB is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are welcome

[uml-user] use gdb to catch a panic?

2005-07-27 Thread Allan Graves
Hi guys, from the lists, this looks like it should work. Its not though, and so my question. :) I'm working on debugging a module, and it panics and takes down uml. I'm running uml in a gdb session, but since UML exits after the panic code, i don't have a backtrace, context, or really anything

[uml-user] RHEL5 UML

2007-11-27 Thread Allan Graves
Can anyone confirm to me whether the redhat el5 has UML in it? Its based off the 2.6.18 stream, and while it contains the UML menuconfig, it looks very old. I'm going to compare against a 2.6.18 vanilla, but thought I'd ask here first. Thanks! Allan --
