Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2001 19:43:00 -0000 Message-id: <3BA16CAA.6B4DF4A1@cotw.com> X-SW-Source: 2001-09/msg00119.html Greetings. I have tried everything I can to get Linux kernel debugging symbols to work properly. I apologize for posting to so many lists too, but I really need to get this working. I traded a few emails with HJ Lu and he referred me to the following messages/threads: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2001-08/msg00053.html http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2001-08/msg00079.html http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2001-08/msg00084.html I did read them a few times and it appears that all the necessary changes are in the current gdb and insight CVS repositories. I checked out the latest sources a half hour ago and compiled both gdb and insight using the configuration line: configure --prefix=/opt/tools --target=mipsel-linux-elf since my target is a NEC 5432 running in LE mode. I had also tried 'mips-linux-elf' targets earlier in the day with no difference. I am still getting the following mismatch in symbols: -------------------------------------------------------------------- (gdb) target remote /dev/ttyS1 Remote debugging using /dev/ttyS1 0x80012828 in breakinst () at af_packet.c:1879 1879 sock_unregister(PF_PACKET); (gdb) bt #0 0x80012828 in breakinst () at af_packet.c:1879 #1 0x8001a0d4 in sys_create_module (name_user=0x10001dc8 "cfi_probe", size=8176) at module.c:305 (gdb) c Continuing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- I compiled my kernel with a toolchain that used the following versions of tools: binutils-2.11.90.0.31 (HJLu patches applied) gcc-3.0.1 (stock) glibc-2.2.3 (minor build patches) Things are still not working and I would greatly appreciate some direction. I've blown a whole day this and am a bit frazzled. Thanks a bunch in advance. -Steve -- Steven J. Hill - Embedded SW Engineer
