Kdb for modules

Kdb for modules

[Sourav Sen]

Hi,
	For using kdb I have done the following:
	1) upgrade modutils using modutils-2.3.11-1.i386.rpm
	2) patched the source using kdb-v0.6-2.2.13 as I am using
	   linux-2.2.16.(I don't know, this kdb for 2.2.13 works for
	   linux-2.2.16, I haven't used it extensively, so don't know 
	   whether it works correctly or not?, but I couldn't find kdb
	   for 2.2.16 in SGI site, any clues in this is very much 
	   welcomed  :))

	so this works ... , 
	But if I want to debug the modules, set breakpoints at, see the
	address of, module functions, what shall I have to do? I haven't 
	found any clue on this as yet, Plz. help..

kdb is not part of the standard linux kernel, linux-kernel is the wrong

kdb v0.6 is out of date and no longer supported.  kdb v1.5 against
2.2.18 is in ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb/download/ix86/, it supports
modules correctly.  This patch is only there as a courtesy, SGI do not
support kdb on 2.2 kernels, all our debugging work is on 2.4 kernels.
If you want to use kdb on 2.2 kernels, you are pretty much on your own.

Ok, this is fine, but just one question, please: is    
kdb-v1.5-2.2.18-pre15.gz going (or at least supposed to) work with 2.2.18
(final)?

Thanks

The only obvious difference between 2.2.18-pre15 and 2.2.18 that
affects kdb is a change to the sysctl numbers.  I have put
kdb-v1.5-2.2.18.gz in http://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb/download/ix86/.
Warning: I have not even compiled this patch, let alone tested it.
