Hi Satish, I set up a new build area with upstreams 2.6.18-8 (not CentOS) with kdb-v4.4-2.6.18-common-1 and kdb-v4.4-2.6.18-i386-1. The patches were applied fine (with a few offset lines in two files). I used the linux/arch/i386/defconfig of the kernel source as base, turned on CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, and took all default values in 'make oldconfig'. The kernel was built fine with CONFIG_KDB_MODULES set to either 'y' or 'm'. My guess is that your problem was CentOS specific?
