I've succeeded in building a GENERIC kernel with ddb.  However, I can't
exctract anything useful via ddb:

	panic: kernel stack invalid
	Stopped in pid 311 (cc) at      _trap+0x138:    tstl    64(r8)
	db> trace
	panic: kernel stack invalid
	Stack traceback :
	0x802af734: _trap+0x138(0x86a46e9c)

This problem does not occur on my hp300, i386 and sparc platforms.

How should I pursue this problem from here?

Thanks,
