Thanks Shantonu, Yeah, that was my reasoning too ( i.e. if I ask for break, it should wait for it to be hooked up). For example, on windows the behavior is to dump the crashed memory. Come to think of it, I think I am asking too much. Not all kernel exception could case a worm reboot, so that I know I’ve a log etc. And that is why I was asking if there is any configuration, that can coerce it do just that. -Prokash On Sep 25, 2015, at 1:36 PM, Shantonu Sen <ssen@apple.com> wrote:
Sounds like it’s doing exactly what you asked, which was to wait for the debugger.
What if you insert a “ud2” instruction?

Folks,
I’m looking for a way to configure a VM instance off of 10.8.2 plus iso, so that any exception from the kernel cause a system panic, and warm reboots.
What I found, just by testing it that if I try to insert a int3 into a kernel extension , without any debugger attached, the systems GUI hangs. Basically frozen.
Whereas if I do a null de-ref, then I get the crash, and warm reboot.
Is there any configuration that I need ?
Thanks, P
