I don't have one capable of working with virtual memory but I do have a JTAG debugger since JTAG is used to program all of our boards - and using insight with a large cup of coffee, System.map and the output of a full objdump of the kernel binary in combination with modifying the code in memory to insert infinate loops or changing the mode in the MSR usually works for me. Seriously, if you don't have a vm capable debugger that's a lot of masochistic fun to be had debugging. Jon.
