Re: decnet versions




Hi,

The things to look for are the value of EIP and the stack backtrace.
You'll need to write them down and then look in the System.map for
your kernel to find out in which function each value occurs. The
actual values themselves are of no use, since I don't know where your
compiler might have put the code for the various functions in your kernel.

You'll find no exact match for the EIP/stack values since the
calls to other functions are always part way through any
particular function. Just find the function name with an address just below
the EIP/stack value.

Now and again, during a crash the stack gets written over causing the trace to
contain gibberish. If you don't find at least one function sounding like
its something to do with DECnet, or all the addresses are wildly different
from the ones in System.map, then thats probably whats happened.

Just send me the list of function names and point out which one
correponds to the value of EIP. I'll be able to work out the
direction of the stack trace by the order of the function calls,

Thanks,

Steve.
