I have discussed this problem for years now -- over 5 years, to be exact. As if I haven't sounded like a broken record before, I surely do now. Start here, under section "Kernel", item "Scrambled or garbled kernel output":
https://wiki.freebsd.org/BugBusting/Commonly_reported_issues The problem has not gone away. It has not been solved. It has not been worked around. PRINTF_BUFR_SIZE does not solve the problem, and rarely helps relieve it. I have discussed this issue more recently (2010) with John Baldwin as well: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2010-March/214412.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2010-March/214423.html And in December 2011 too -- particularly an important read if you think increasing the number is a wise idea: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2011-December/065158.html Bottom line: there is no solution other than to switch OSes. And yes, I am aware of how GSoC works, but this really should have become a GSoC project by now, otherwise the Foundation should have funded someone to fix this. It makes kernel debugging basically worthless. -- | Jeremy Chadwick j...@koitsu.org | | UNIX Systems Administrator http://jdc.koitsu.org/ | | Mountain View, CA, US | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
