Oh and I forgot my usual tips in such case: use qemu...attach gdb to qemu's gdb stub.... use -s and -S options...it will stop the guest invocation right from the initial startup. Assuming you compile guest kernel with frame pointer and sufficient debug symbols, it would be easy for you to explore the kernel code :) -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com
