Hi Frank, > alibi procedure, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=655904
Thanks. I can confirm that these instructions crash linux-image-3.0.0-1-amd64 3.0.0-1 at least under xen. The README in the same directory talks about generating a whitelist of safe probe points. I 1) commented out -untested "$TESTNAME is disabled" -return +#untested "$TESTNAME is disabled" +#return 2) removed probe points that don't seem to be found anymore: kprocess.*, - process.*, nfs.fop.*, nfs.aop.*, nfsd.proc.*, - nfsd.*, nfs.proc.*, 3) fixed rc.local path for debian: set startup_line_in_RCLOCAL "cd $env(PWD); runtest whitelist.exp&" -set RCLOCAL "/etc/rc.d/rc.local" +set RCLOCAL "/etc/rc.local" 4) and finally had to comment out a check that I don't fully understand: -if {[info procs installtest_p] != "" && ![installtest_p]} { - untested $TESTNAME; - return -} +#if {[info procs installtest_p] != "" && ![installtest_p]} { +# untested $TESTNAME; +# return +#} After this I get the following output: $ sudo runtest whitelist.exp WARNING: No tool specified Test Run By root on Fri Aug 12 14:04:11 2011 Native configuration is x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu === tests === Schedule of variations: unix Running target unix Using /usr/share/dejagnu/baseboards/unix.exp as board description file for target.
