by Hello All,
I've got an annoying problem: My linux laptop crashes when running
XFree86 4.0. The problem is that the machine totally locks up. I am
fairly confident that the problem lies in the *9397 driver causing a
bus lock-up.
I want to debug this problem, because I am sick and tired of waiting
for e2fsck.
On the Amiga I used to be able to load a de* and invoke it
through a NMI. Is there anything similar for linux, so that after my
computer is totally shafted I can interrupt the machine and get the
processor doing something again (like running a de*)?
Where can I find information on low level debugging of device drivers?
