[Barrelfish-users] gdb and qemu

[Georgios Varisteas]

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately it didn't help much as I get this:

Any other hint?

The way we start QEMU is that it stops the simulated system immediately
after GDB attaches. So, the appropriate command to resume execution is
'continue'.

Hope this helps,
Simon

Run obviously fails and I shouldn't have to attach gdb as the debug script does that. But still qemu does not run cause I do not get any output on stdout. A quick and dirty run-through of the involved commands and logic would be sufficient. Thanks in advance.
