Is there a kdb patch for Test7 availiable?

I have 2.4.0-test7 with the ia64 patch...

I don't know how to make the built in KDB work... is it broken and is there a patch?

If it works fine, what is the keystroke for viewing a stack trace?

thanks in advance...

Hi,
Using the Pause key will get you into the debugger when the kernel is compiled with KDB. To get a back trace, type "bt" at the prompt. Type "help" to get a full list of commands.

Thanks

Hi,

I have a cross compile environment with the newest (I think) gnopro gcc,gas,... tools. When I try to compile a 2.4.0-test4 kernel (+07/28 patch, kdb-test4 patch), I get lots of the following assembler error message:

entry.S:1040: Error: Unknown pseudo-op: `.spillsp'

What is wrong? Can anybody help me?

It still won't work for me....

I have these options set for KDB:
( Under Kernel Hacking )

Kernel support for IA-32 emulation
Kernel FP software completion
Magic SysRq key
Early printk support ( requires VGA! )

Print possible IA64 hazards to console

I do NOT have these picked:

Turn on compare-and-exchange bug checking ( slow! ) Turn on irq debug checks (slow!)
Enable new unwind support

Is the "unwind support" what I need to the KDB stuff to work?

Thanks,

You don't have the KDB patch installed; we don't ship with it as it's not good for general use.

There is no kdb patch against test7 yet. The old one (against test6) will apply but it won't compile.
