Best Regards, sephe -- Live Free or Die Hi Sephe, Thanks for the tip. A BIOS upgrade solved it. Hmm. I recently started getting this error again, it knocked my head out trying to find the reason (but it's working now). I tried no-optimizations (even removed /etc/make.conf), trying GENERIC, no SMP, always the same error. There was a difference when I tried NATA though, it gave me: bfe0: MII without any PHY! Maybe options PCI_MAP_FIXUP for NATA had something to do with this? Anyway, it turned out to be that I had disabled PXE booting at the BIOS. Having it enabled allows bfe to work correctly on DFly on this laptop (note that it was working of FreeBSD and Windows on the same laptop without PXE enabled). The BIOS upgrade I had done before must have restored the default enable PXE booting, that's why it worked after the upgrade (until I disabled it later and started to get the error again scratching my head why...). Could it be there's some issue with pci memory/port mapping that enabling PXE cirumvents? I'm way off my knowledge here.. Anyways, I just though I could tell the tale.. Thanks, Nuno
Debugging vkernels with gdb
Is it possible to use kgdb to debug a vkernel as if it were remote over a serial line? Cheers Steve

:Is it possible to use kgdb to debug a vkernel as if it were remote :over a serial line? : :Cheers Steve Yes. Not even as if it were remote over a serial line... all you have to do is gdb the vkernel's process id. There is one issue, though... page faults that occur within the VKERNEL itself will be caught by GDB, so you will get a lot of breaks in the debugger that you have to 'cont' through. -Matt Matthew Dillon [EMAIL PROTECTED]

We are officially better than FreeBSD (accoridng to distrowatch)
According the stats on their site: 7 Day Average: 19. DragonFly 475 and going up 20. FreeBSD 455 and going up I am aware that most of the hits were because of 1.8, its still nevertheless amusing :) Petr
