| |
Hey guys,
So I usually have the latest mainline kernel (on my fedora box) I've recently sent it tiny refactoring patches.
Today, I start my machine and it just doesn't start. I had 3.11, 3.12, and a few 3.14 rcs.
All show up booting, a few lines print on the screen about various things it does. At some random point the screen is just black and backlit and nothing happens. I tried all kernels, 3.11 and 3.12 and official fedora supported kernels. The rest I installed. Even the fedora rescue system doesn't work.
I tried looking into remote debugging linux and keep just getting hits on virtual machine options. It's time I left my training wheels and I want to debug my actual machine and see what's going on.
Several of those kernels have debugging support on. I just don't get what wire I need to buy, what really is a JTAG and I just need a pointer on how to set it up. I have another windows machine and an OSX machine around.
Any pointers (pun intended) will be greatly appreciated.
Regards, Gideon
