I'm not aware of any other debuggers that would be involved here. What I dont know is if this offset to the mschunks_map array is also used by the hypervisor for some non debug purposes. If iSeries continues to work without it, then it can probably go too. Just be sure that PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_ISERIES will continue to work for getting info out of the system. :-) > /* > * At offset 0x28 and 0x30 are offsets to the mschunks_map > * array (used by the iSeries LPAR debugger to do translation > * between physical addresses and absolute addresses) and > * to the pidhash table (also used by the debugger) > */ > .llong mschunks_map-KERNELBASE > .llong 0 /* pidhash-KERNELBASE SFRXXX */ > > cheers >
