Systemd can be used as an implementation of the initrd, and in that case is run as PID 1 even before your system is finished booting. This talk will describe the process of debugging a crashing systemd in initrd using gdbserver running as the init script, gdb and the NixOS test framework. Speakers: Ryan Lahfa, Julien Malka, Linus Heckemann, Track: Debuggers and analysis tools devroom, Room: K.4.401, When: Saturday 3 February 2024, 15:05–15:25 (Brussels time), Schedule: FOSDEM 2024 event page, Licence: Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Belgium (CC BY 2.0 BE) (as stated in the FOSDEM video archive).
