I found that the message inside the brackets comes from ddb_init(). But
when I first compiled my kernel with "options DDB" there was no such a
message and ddb worked well. Though I don't know yet ddb still works, it
bothers me that this message comes out every time.
Does the message mean that there is something wrong? If it is, what is
it and how can I fix it?
