Hi,
I know this might sound like a newbie question.
I'm trying to debug a "Lockup" on 7.2-RELEASE. I've compiled DDB and
KDB into the kernel and make installkernel. (Can this be called a
deadlock?)
The machine still response to pings, but it looks like all disk
activity has stopped.
I can break into the debugger using CTRL-ALT-ESC, but after that, i
dont know what I'm looking for in particular.
bt (backtrace) gives me the stuff like the keyboard mutex ( i assume
it was the last thing that happened, but obviously it was the break)
Should I be including WITNESS?
Regards
David N
