Hello

I'm trying to get kgdb working on a mpc8540 based target machine. I took the
latest patches which are for 2.6.13(mine is 2.6.11) and build and made
changes to config by enabling :
- Compile the kernel with debug info
- KGDB: kernel debugging with remote gdb
- KGDB: Console messages through gdb
- Method for KGDB communication (KGDB: On ethernet - in kernel)

I also added bootargs through uboot as:
kgdboe=6443@10.110.1.2/,6442@10.110.1.31/00:0F:1F:6E:F3:30 kgdbwait

Now, I'm getting the messages:
netconsole: not configured, aborting
kgdboe: eth0 doesn't support polling, aborting.
kgdboe: netpoll_setup failed kgdboe failed

And after some lines;

kgdb: Defering I/O setup to kernel module.
kgdb: Waiting for connection from remote gdb...
But then it goes to load ramdisk.

Can someone please provide some help on this

thanks
