Almost ... ;-) Azalia causes a panic during the boot process, right after loading the azalia driver. Here is some output (rewritten by hand) as the thinkbad X60s has no serial port: "Intel 82945GM Video" rev 0x03 at pci0 dev 2 function 1 not configured azalia0 at pci0 dev 27 function 0 "Intel 82801GB HD Audio" rev 0x02: irq 11 azalia0: host: High Definition Audio rev. 1.0 azalia0: codec: Analog Devices AD1981HD (rev.2.0) azalia0: codec: High Definition Audio rev. 1.0 uvm_fault (0xd06f3720, 0x0, 0, 1) -> e kernel: page fault trap, code=0 Stopped at 0:uvm_fault(0xd06f3720, 0x0, 0, 1) -> e kernel: page fault trap, code=0 Stopped at db_read_bytes+0x14: movb 0(%edx), %al ddb>ps PID PPID PGRP UID S FLAGS WAIT COMMAND * 0 -1 0 0 7 0x80204 swapper For "trace" please .... see the question below: (I'm a beginner, so please apologize) How do you get a kernel panic output to the console without a serial port?
