Would it be possible to add a method to the boot loader to disable
DDB support in the kernel, or perhaps even disable it by default?
I've encountered two different brands of servers (Dell and HP)
where the remote graphical console loses keystrokes in the generic
kernel. This is a severe impediment to troubleshooting and I'm not
the only one to encounter this. Strangely, compiling a kernel without
DDB solves this issue. If it was possible to either do a one-time
disable from the boot loader or make it permanent in the boot config
file, I wouldn't have to custom compile the kernel for installs on
bare metal. Holding down keys longer helps, but you have to time it
just right and it is very difficult when entering passwords. Thanks
for your consideration.
