While tracing my laptop's bootup, I pass the "-k" option to the kernel boot line in GRUB. Whenever a panic happens, instead of rebooting instantly the laptop does display a list of loaded modules, stacktrace, etc. and a kmdb prompt with an invitation to "continue" (:c) to reboot the system.
Unfortunately, something like 19 times out of 20 the keyboard is locked up, so it ignores my attempts to continue, ctrl+alt+del or otherwise reboot the system. This being a laptop and lacking a reset button, I can only hold the power button to turn it off and then back on, which is inconvenient and induces unneeded wear on the mechanics (hdd, fans, etc.) I've seen discussions of similar problems a while ago, and hoped they were sorted out by now. Well, as of oi_151a5 they are still here :( Ideas welcome, //Jim Klimov _______________________________________________ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
