To: gdb@sources.redhat.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-SW-Source: 2002-08/txt/msg00201.txt.bz2 Hi I am trying to debug loadable modules on 8260 board. I am using GDB to debug the module. The loadable module say x.o has two object files a.o and b.o. x.o is generated as follows: powerpc-linux-ld -r -o x.o a.o b.o I run the linux on the target. On the host machine I run GDB and connect to the target. In the target I load the loadable module using insmod utility: insmod -m x.o insmod now prints the starting text addr, bss addr, rodata sections and it starts running my module. Now from the gdb I try to load x.o using following command add-symbol-file x.o -s -s. When I run the above command in GDB I get the following error: Dwarf Error: Could not find abbrev number 116. Any idea what could be the problem. I am using the latest GDB 5.2.1. Thanks in advance __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
