I finally got a kernel on lola-granola to pop into console mode when it
takes a panic or other kernel fault. So, if you're using lola from the
X window system, and it panic's on you, it will now drop into a kernel
debugger rather than just silently rebooting.
What to do, you ask?
type 'bt' (for backtrace), and write down EXACTLY what it displays, then
mail it to "netbsd-dev@mit.edu" It will be a stack trace, but the trace
probably won't have terribly useful symbols if the problem is in AFS.
Especially important to copy down is the stuff *after* the parentheses
displaying the function arguments--that will hopefully let me figure out
what AFS routine was really called.
When you're done copying down the info, type "c" which will continue the
machine and reboot.
So, do your best to crash the bugger and let's find this AFS/i386/NetBSD
bug!
Thanks,
==John
