It is already integrated in Linux kernel since 2.6.26. When you run gdb of Fedora 8, for example, against kgdb light enabled kernel, you can't refer the symbols in loadable modules. You also can't break in to kernel if your target is far away from your reach. You have to physically type Ctrl+Alt+Sysrq and g. My kgdb-light solves these problems. Let me know if you have any question. -caz -----Original Message----- From: Tiago Maluta [mailto:maluta_tiago@yahoo.com.br] Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2009 11:04 AM To: gdb@sourceware.org; Caz Yokoyama Subject: RE: symbolic debug of loadable modules with kgdb light --- On Thu, 1/8/09, Caz Yokoyama wrote: > Hello, > I started a sourceforge project called kgdb-light > (http://sourceforge.net/projects/kgdb-light/). kgdb-light > is a modified gdb > which handles symbol tables of loadable modules of Linux > kernel 2.6.26 and > later.

This project on SF uses the modifications proposed there? [1] http://kerneltrap.org/Linux/Kgdb_Light Best regards, Tiago Maluta
