Hmm, debug the debugger time ... Boot with command line option "kdb=early". At the kdb prompt, type set KDBDEBUG=0xffff set LINES 2000 go After boot has completed, try to enter kdb. Record the complete trace[*] and mail it to the list. [*] You will probably need a serial console to capture the kdb trace. Use http://oss.sgi.com/ecartis to modify your settings or to unsubscribe.
