Re: BUG() Calls

[Ravi K <kravi26@yahoo.com>]

Hi,
 Are you saying your system hangs when it executed
BUG()? Don't you get a 'Oops' message when your 
module_init is called? 
  The only way I know of attaching to the kernel when
it hits a BUG() is through a debugger like kgdb. For 
this to work, your kernel should have been compiled 
with the debugger code. You an find kgdb at 
http://kgdb.sourceforge.net.

-Ravi.
