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 !

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 !

Thanks again Lateef !

Please forget that "Ctrl+alt+f2" issue :)

My problem is "Once I get in to the single user mode / pseudo terminal and invoke kdb, the system hangs after displaying the kdb prompt, and nothing works ! No keyboard presses etc..."

 

As you advised, I will try recompiling the kernel. But can you please let me know specifically what option should I check ? I want to somehow try my hands on kdb !! :)

 

And I sincerely appreciate and thank for your help on this.

 

Regards,

Rajaram.
