Hi Bastien,
Please edit the /etc/sysctl.conf on your machine and
add/adjust/uncomment the following line..
ddb.console=0 # 1=Permit entry of ddb from the console
By default, you could escape to the ddb/KDB from the console.
Activity on the serial port like a reboot on the other side of the
serial cable can trigger that escape.
I allways disable ddb.console now. Bitten too often in the past.
Cheers
Y.
