:hey,

:when gdb'ing a vkernel, I run into this situation:

:this happens after mounting root, i.e. when init is run in the vkernel.=20
:Seems that the first SIGSEGV is being delivered, kernel is stopped for=20

    This happens to me all the time.  I haven't had time to track it down.

    I usually work around it by gdb'ing the vkernel, and then quiting out
    of gdb (which seems to restart the vkernel ok) instead of typing 'cont'.

    Please, if you can find it, be my guest!
