There is no vmlinux file image in the directory.. i guess.. may b u
have formed a compressed image. Do this.
1. make mrpoper
 (DON'T DO THIS IS U DON'T want to delete the .config file, which
saves the configuration of the below second step)
2.  make menuconfig
3. make
4. make modules
5. make modules_install
6. make install.

U will get the image vmlinux in /usr/src/linux-x.x.x/ directory.
then try
gdb vmlimux /proc/kcore frm the above directory.
