From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Subject: kgdb and console output From: Ibon Gotxi Garcia To: Linux PPC embedded Content-Type: text/plain Message-Id: <1047642589.367.19.camel@muse> Mime-Version: 1.0 Date: 14 Mar 2003 11:49:50 +0000 Sender: owner-linuxppc-embedded@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: caution: perhaps a bit offtopic? Hi all: I'm still having problems to debug a kernel with kgdb: both kgdb and console output go to /dev/ttyS0 (no chance of changing that, we use the second serial port for other purposes). I get an initial break in gdb (development machine), and the kernel loads smoothly (outputs are perfect) till it reaches init, when the output goes mad, repeating everything (but the first char) a number of times. For example: INIT: INIT: NIT: IT: T: : version 2.78 bootingersion 2.78 bootingrsion 2.78 bootingsion 2.78 bootingon 2.78 booting and so on. a.- Is that a gdb problem? b.- Is it related with using the same serial port for both output and debugging? c.- Maybe i should change the tools i use in the root filesystem (aka /bin/echo ...)? I have tried not using colors or scape sequences to print, but a simple echo "echo this" produces the same problem. Any ideas? Many regards. -- Ibon Gotxi Garcia ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
