Debug Commands
Most ROM monitor debugging commands are functional only when Cisco IOS
software has crashed or stopped. If you enter a debugging command and
Cisco IOS crash information is not available, you see the following error
message:
"xxx: kernel context state is invalid, can not proceed."
The following are ROM monitor debugging commands:
• stack or k—Produce a stack trace. For example:
rommon 6> stack
Stack trace:
PC = 0x801111b0
Frame 00: FP = 0x80005ea8    PC = 0x801111b0
Frame 01: FP = 0x80005eb4    PC = 0x80113694
Frame 02: FP = 0x80005f74    PC = 0x8010eb44
Frame 03: FP = 0x80005f9c    PC = 0x80008118
Frame 04: FP = 0x80005fac    PC = 0x80008064
Frame 05: FP = 0x80005fc4    PC = 0xfff03d70
• context—Display processor context. For example:
rommon 7> context
