Please send you gdb log with  .config of kernel and dmesg of target(kgdb)

Look in README about this. You will need gdbmod (normal gdb patched with
features for module debugging).

Could you please ask in more details? As far as I understand you will have
to do "set solib-search path" to tell gdb about libraries of modules. And
when your module is loaded you will be notified in gdb about new thread.

Obviously when you are placing breakpoint or doing single step it(target)
will be stuck.

Post further questions to KGDB Mailing List (see CC) too.
