Ya, I know what Ctrl+Alt+F2 do; I mean to say that when your system enters in kdb it will accepts key-presses and commands related to kdb only, and that terminal switching command is obviously not related to kdb :) And by saying single console I mean that in kdb you can get prompt on the current terminal/console and won't able to switch to another terminal until you release the kdb using go command ! > btw..I have not got the answer to my primary question "why does my system > hang after displaying the kdb prompt , when I press the Pause button ?" > When you press Alt+Pause then your system went into kdb and then hangs (not accepting any key press) ? If yes, then this might be your kenel configuration and kdb compatibility problem, try to recompile with some changes in kernel configuration especially in kernel hacking options. I gave that much detail because I thought that you are saying system hangs or not accepting commands like terminal switching etc on kdb prompt but __accepting__ key-presses ! -- Fawad Lateef -- Fawad Lateef -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
