I have no idea about the gdbsx side of things here, but if there is a new bootloader protocol doing the rounds it would be useful to know about... > > Are there known methods to getting gdbsx to work in the context of > > this new loading scheme? > > > > Any pointers would be of great use. > > CCing xen-devel. > > Hmm... no, have not run into that, so never thought about it.
