No, I wan't using linux_kdump, thanks for the education. Today I've installed linux_kdump from the package on jp.current.freebsd.org, and now I get
1207 vmware CALL linux_access(0xbfbff759,0x4) 1207 vmware NAMI "/compat/linux/home/hunter/gwk/.Xauthority" 1207 vmware NAMI "/home/hunter/gwk/.Xauthority" 1207 vmware RET linux_access -1 errno 13 Permission denied which looks a little more meaningful (no negative errno any more, and a linux_* syscall is listed). Still needs debugging, which I'll attempt to do when I get a little time. -- Regards, Georg. At Sun, 7 Oct 2001 19:28:35 -0400 (EDT), Robert Watson wrote: > > > On Sun, 7 Oct 2001, Georg-W.
