It still works in 5.0. What ends up happenning is a debugging kernel gets built as kernel.debug, but the stripped version is still installed into /boot/kernel/ (most likely to conserve space on /). When you panic and coredump, copy kernel.debug out of the source tree into /var/crash and use that to debug. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
