list, I am new to kernel debugging, I compiled a new kernel with options KDB and DDB in addition to the GENERIC config and booted with the new kernel.( Goal is to debug the coredumps in my laptops /var/crash/vmcore files and try to find and fix the panic/situation which produce these coredumps)
I tried to analyze all of the vmcore files in my /var/crash/vmcore.x core dumps steps done after booting into the new kernel # cd /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYCUSTORMKERNEL #kgdb kernel.debug /var/crash/vmcore.0 kgdb kernel.debug /var/crash/vmcore.0 GNU gdb 6.1.1 [FreeBSD] Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Cannot access memory at address 0x252d1 (kgdb) (kgdb) For all the vmcore files I am getting this output.. Cannot access memory at address 0x252d1, how can I proceed from here, How to debug what is happening, what makes the kernel to dump these vmcores and fix the issue by using further debugging.. what are the next steps , if there a message in kgdb "Cannot access memory at address 0x252d1 or any address" Please share your suggestion and hints to debug more from this point. I am stuck here..
