Hi All, I set up a system with KDB and everything runs great, except that when I am in KDB on the serial console, it seems to hang intermittently (for several minutes) and then continue working again for a few seconds or so. I am grateful to have some immediate post-mortem debugging capability now on this system (since sometimes kdump fails due to memory corruption), but the process goes very slowly when the system hangs every couple times you go to type a command.
I know this kernel is a bit old- is this an issue that has been fixed on newer versions but was not backported to the 2.6.20 version? Any ideas of where I can start? I've now tried two different serial ports and both are running at 9600 8-n-1, with flow control off. The problem seems to occur most often if I leave the console sitting for a few seconds, though I've also had it when I'm quickly interacting and typing commands. Additionally, is the sgi ftp at ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb/download/v4.4/ the only place to find files for kdb? It would be nice to have some of the patches that were added to the KDB patches for later kernels (i.e. ehci/uhci USB, kdump), but it doesn't seem particularly easy to tell which modifications are for which feature... I guess perhaps I could search the mailing list archives for the original patch submissions... any easier way? Does KDB exist in any online source control systems? The SGI CVS server no longer appears to contain it... are new versions just posted straight to the FTP site? -Kevin --------------------------- Use http://oss.sgi.com/ecartis to modify your settings or to unsubscribe.
