Examining a kernel crash dump with a graphical debugger like
ddd
is also possible (you will need to install
the devel/ddd port in order to use the
ddd
debugger). Add the -k
option to the ddd
command line you would use
normally. For example;
#
ddd --debugger kgdb kernel.debug /var/crash/vmcore.0
You should then be able to go about looking at the crash dump using
ddd
's graphical interface.
