Hey,

        You might have tried patching the sources available with the Red Hat  LINUX. Try to get fresh kernel sources, and then apply the patch. It should work with that.

 

Cheers,

Kedar.

Subject: Trouble in setting up of KGDB

Hi,

 

    I'm trying to install KGDB patch into my Linux Kernel. I downloaded the patch that matched my Kernel version.

I patched the kernel with command "patch -p1 <kgdb-2.4.2-2 " in the /usr/src/linux-2.4 directory. While patching the kernel

it asked for particular files to patch, which I ignored, since I could not find the appropriate files. Thereafter, I could not find the gdbstub entry in the kernel hacking menu item in the menuconfig.

 

Am I taking the right steps to patch the kernel.

 

Do anyone have the working experience of patching the kernel with KGDB and using the same to perform remote debugging.

 

Expecting your advice

 

Regards,

Rupa
