Re: [oi-dev] (Laptop) Keyboard locking up when in kmdb panic handler

There are two reasons this tends to happen: 1) You have a USB keyboard, that we can't actually use from kmdb at all 2) You've crashed at a point where the state of the world is such that we can't use the keyboard _right now_ If it's failing sporadically, I'd be assuming #2 though #1 is far from impossible even then. Are you crashing too early to get a crash dump? It's nearly always preferable to get a dump (if you can), than to debug the system in-situ. -- Rich ___ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev

I guess I'll go find one to test. Should it be plugged before the panic and kmdb prompt or can be added after? Still, I thought the USB stack is another dimension of complexity and that would be less likely to work than the built-in kbd (the only one I used so far).
