Guys
I'm desperately trying to debug a kernel deadlock in my driver on a 10.12.1 system running on a VMware Fusion 8.5.0 virtual machine.
Using Recovery mode I disabled SIP and modified nvram (debug=0x144) to enable KDP mode.
There are two problems now:
- No matter how I trigger a panic, I don't get into KDP mode and the system just reboots. It seems as if the nvram settings just don't get enforced at all. Can anyone confirm I set up the boot-args correctly? They *do* appear correct when just displaying it...
- How do I trigger an NMI on a VMware? On previous systems (VMware 8.1.x and OS X 10.11 I just pressed Cmd+Option+Shift+Ctrl+Escape and got a perfectly good NMI. This does not seem to work anymore on Fusion 8.5.0 + 10.12.1 and I can't get into KDP mode when the deadlock occurs...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Luigi
