As a general rule, you should direct questions about distribution specific patches to the distribution, not to this list. Mainly because distributions make their own changes. But I'm in a good mood so ... Which version of SuSE SLES 9? SLES9 base has kdb v4.3, and SuSE changed the KDB serial entry sequence from control-A to startKDB, but only for the powerpc build. SLES9 SP1 has kdb v4.4, which uses escape-KDB as the entry sequence. There is a message early in boot that says which version of kdb you are using. Watch out for minicom, it uses control-A as its own sequence. To send control-A to the kernel over minicom, you have to press it twice. Which is one of the reasons that the sequence changed from kdb v4.3 to v4.4. --------------------------- Use http://oss.sgi.com/ecartis to modify your settings or to unsubscribe.
