[Q] trying to debug kernel: kdbx says 'Couldn't read allproc'

Hi folks:

I am attempting to use the 'list_action' command in kdbx. However, the
example that DEC gives in the 'Kernal Debugging' manual does not work. Here
is the output:

  (kdbx) list_action "struct proc *" p_nxt 0 allproc p %c.task.u_address.uu_comm %c.p_pid
  Couldn't read allproc:
  Couldn't read symbol
  Usage : list_action type next-field end-addr start-addr command
  pid 12471 exited with status 1

When I try to find out what 'allproc' is, kdbx reports the following:

  (kdbx) p allproc
  "allproc" is not defined or not active

Can someone tell me how to get the above 'list_action' command to work? Also,
I have looked all over the system (including the /var/system.kdbxrc file) for the
definition of 'allproc', but I can't find it. Could someone tell me what
it should be set to?

I will post a detailed summary to the list. Thanks in advance.
