For those who are interested.. I have taken the kgdb patch for 2.4.0-test9 and ported it to 2.4.0. This is a minimal patch, and doesn't include any of the documentation or supporting programmes. It can be found at: http://www.foursticks.com.au/~pschulz/kgdb http://www.foursticks.com.au/~pschulz/kgdb/linux-2.4.0-kgdb.patch There is also a patch for 2.4.0-test12 http://www.foursticks.com.au/~pschulz/kgdb/linux-2.4.0-test12-kgdb.patch For more information see... http://kgdb.sourceforge.net kgdb is a patch to the linux kernel. It allows use of gdb for source level debugging of a linux kernel. One can place breakpoints, step through code and observe variables in the kernel similar to debugging a program. For using kgdb you need two machines. One of these machines is the development machine and the other is tests machine. The kernel to be debugged runs on the tests machine. gdb runs on the development machine. The machines are connected through a serial line. The serial line is used by gdb to communicate to the kernel being debugged. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
