I've been using SoftICE to "debug" some Windows drivers lately ;-), and
I have to say it's way better than my current printk-based debug method.
Does anyone have any specific recommendations for debugging Linux
drivers? kdb seems to be the obvious choice, I'm building it now.
Does anyone have any other recommendations?

Not a recommendation, since I've only looked at it and not yet tried it,
but another is kgdb.

I got kdb up and running, and it works well, it even plays nice with the
RT patch, though I had to edit the kdb patch a little to get it to
apply.
