I am writing in the hope that I will get answers to a few questions that I have.
First up, I am extremely new with kdb and started playing with it just a couple of days back.
This mailing list's archives maintained by sgi do not work. All the links in the archives page lead me to a page not found page. Can I get hold of the archives someplace else? If not, can I request sgi to please fix the problem and let users see the archives, before they want to mail their questions to this list.
Now my actual question. I am working with a 2.4.20 kernel on a red hat 8 box. I downloaded the corresponding kdb patches and applied them on a clean kernel source tree. I then configured the kernel and turned on the "Built-in kernel debugger support" and the "Compile the kernel with frame pointers" options. This in effect has turned on the CONFIG_KDB and the CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER flags in the .config file. I was able to build and install that kernel with no problems.
I then start kdb in a virtual terminal and started playing around with the various commands. One of the commands I tried was "md".
> md printk 1 0xc01173c0 57e58955 ec8035356 2ee0a120 c085c032 and some junk after this
I am just wondering what the junk is. I thought there should be only 5 entries per row. why is the junk occuring? Is it some option that I have not set correctly while setting up kdb?
I would appreciate any help... thanks.
