Hi All, I'm following instructions at http://kgdb.linsyssoft.com/quickstart.htm to get into kernel debugging. Since it doesn't ask me to do a 'make modules;make modules_install' on the test machine, I think I can't build a good initrd image on the test machine (since mkinitrd requires a kernel version which it checks under /lib/modules)?
What happens is that when I copy the kernel from my dev machine to test, edit the test machine's grub.conf and reboot, I get a kernel panic with message: 'not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)' I added an initrd image, but since the kernel modules aren't installed on the test machine, I gave the 2nd parameter to mkinitrd the version of the kernel that is running on the test machine. I guess that's just plain wrong - well the kernel still didn't boot. Should I also install the same kernel (without the kgdb patch) on the test machine as well? This is my 1st attempt to debug the kernel and any help you can give will be much appreciated to get me going...
