Hello,
While investigating a problem with one server i
installed a serial console on it.
The machine has a supermicro board with console redirection enabled
on the same port, and everything seems ok, i.e. when the machine panics
i get a debugger on the serial console, but when i try to manually escape
to the debugger with BREAK (~#) i get this on the screen :
The following connections are open:
#0 client-session (t4 r0 i0/0 o0/0 fd 4/5 cfd -1)
Manual enter to the debugger works only if i go physically to the
keyboard and do a CTRL-ALT-ESC,
then i get KDB: enter: manual escape to debugger on the serial console.
i have this added to my kernel conf :
options BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER
options KDB
options DDB
and this in /boot/loadaer.conf :
console=comconsole
Maybe the fact that there is physically attached keyboard interferes with the
serial console?
