Hi, So that I can stop pestering the list with kernel boot-time problems that (from the looks of it) aren't easily reproduced or tracked, I'd like a few suggestions on how to diagnose these sorts of problems myself. Specifically, there seem to be two areas that jam up most often - kernel initialization and between freeing up the memory & running the MIPS FPU emulator. Are there any specific debug flags I can set in the kernel that will dump to the console (which is on the serial port) more detailed information on what is going on at these times? Alternatively, I've had problems getting the kernel to link to a debugger live (eg: gdb), but presumably there are ways to do effective non-live debugging. What experience do people have with doing this? Jonathan Day __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
