SuSE redirect the console to another tty, usually ttys10. Switching tty to see the console output requires that interrupts are working. By definition, kdb disables interrupts to stop the OS from changing while it is being debugged. Result - you cannot see the kdb output on SuSE. Change your boot string to use console=tty instead of console=tty10. --------------------------- Use http://oss.sgi.com/ecartis to modify your settings or to unsubscribe.
