Q.
I am not able to invoke the NetWare Internal Debugger. Even when the console is not secure, the key sequence for invoking the debugger does not work. INT 3 in code causes the server to Ab-end and restart automatically. Please help.
A.
This is a real strange situation, in that it is very rare when you cannot break into the NetWare Internal Debugger. A few possibilities that would prevent this would be a very tight loop of code executing in certain parts of a misbehaving NLM or a hardware hang.
But considering what you have said in your question, I suspect a far more simpler solution to your problem is your keyboard. Your keyboard must support four keys pressed simultaneously and some older keyboard models do not. Just replace the keyboard, with a current model when the server is powered off. Then power the server back on and I suspect you will be able to enter the debugger.
