Jason, I am using 2.6.24 kernel and patching it with kgdb_old_2.6.24 patch. This patch(kgdb_old_2.6.24) works without kgdbwait. But if I patch 2.6.24 kernel with "kgdb_2.6.24" branch patch, it doesn't work and causes crash.(I am using ARM board).
Can you suggest why so? Is kgdb_2.6.24 branch don't have all updates of 2.6.26 branch? I have ben restricted to 2.6.24 kernel as if now and can't use the next versions. Also can I back port kgdb specific 2.6.26 changes to 2.6.24? Regards, Rupesh Jason Wessel wrote: > As far as I know kgdbwait still works fine with the 2.6.26 kernel.
