Hoping this can help. Please don't expect too much fixes from me until=20 september. Xavier --=20 Sinc=E8res salutations. _____________________________________________________________________ =20 Xavier BRU BULL ISD/R&D/INTEL office: FREC B1-422 tel : +33 (0)4 76 29 77 45 http://www-frec.bull.fr fax : +33 (0)4 76 29 77 70 mailto:Xavier.Bru@bull.net addr: BULL, 1 rue de Provence, BP 208, 38432 Echirolles Cedex, FRANCE _____________________________________________________________________ Xavier Bru writes: > Hello Keith & all, >=20 > I put on: > http://www.bullfreeware.com/linux/kdb=20 > patches that work on our IA64 platform with kernel 2.5.72. >=20 > It is based on kdb v4.1 ia64 for 2.4.20, and the initial port you have=20 > done of kdb i386 on 2.5.45. >=20 > The result is far from perfect. > Major restrictions are: > . only arch ia64 support. > . no keyboard support (debug through serial line only: > - new ia64 platforms have no AT keyboard. > - the kdb USB keyboard driver developped by Sebastien Lelarge > still needs to be ported on new USB code. > . breakpoints still deadlock in SMP. > . no section, rmmod commands. > . mca/init not tested. >=20 > What should work: > . parameters support. > . kernel & module symbols. > . new tpa command that translates virtual to physical addresses (ia64). >=20 > I hope this can be help, as kdb is really mandatory for 2.5.=20
