Hi, Debugging Java programs is broken on newer kernels (>2.6.14). Stepping over simple statements becomes awfully slow, without using any cpu or disk activity. Further, tomcat cannot be stopped with "service tomcat5 stop" (or maybe i'm not patient enough, it could be that it takes ages, but usually it is stopped in a few seconds on my machine) and has to be killed. the only thing i found on the web regarding this, is a kml -mm post regarding JBuilder debugging, with no solution to it, and a thread on intellij.net http://www.intellij.net/forums/thread.jsp?forum=27&thread=195506&tstart=0&trange=15 which reports that downgrading to 2.6.14 helps. This is on a current Suse-factory installation, with 2.6.16-rc4-3-default on x86_64. Should i file a bug report with sun, novell or the kernel guys? regards, erwin

If it happens with the vanilla kernel as well, report it at the kernel.org bugzilla, otherwise at ours, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
I just tried on kernel 2.6.16-rc4-git9 and debugging in IntelliJ is still very slow. Tomcat on the other hand seems to start and stop normally again. So can anyone confirm this behavior, maybe using another IDE like JBuilder or Eclipse on x86_64, so that i can file a bug? I failed to boot up a 2.6.14 kernel (missing /sys/kernel/uevent_helper) to verify that it is indeed the kernel which is to blame. -erwin
