It is irritating when such a kernel goes splat. i keep DEBUG_INFO turned off all the time, and only turn it on if really needed. But in that case i can just turn it on and rebuild: recent gccs seem better at keeping the image unmodified. (or at least so i kid myself) Years ago the image would mute a bit with DEBUG_INFO enabled, making the splat info fuzzy. Seems better now. Ingo
