kdb 3.0 is ancient, current is kdb v4.3.

No netpoll interface.  netpoll is not in the standard kernel, kdb
patches are only against the standard kernels.

For legacy free hardware, kdb v4.3 has a working USB keyboard polled
mode.  Build with

CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_UHCI=y (or OHCI)
CONFIG_USB_HID=m
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y
CONFIG_USB_KBD=y
CONFIG_KDB_USB=y

Sounds like kdb is itself dying.  Insufficient data to diagnose, in any
case there have been a lot of bug fixes and enhancements to kdb since
v3.0.
