Debug loadable modules with kgdb

[Igor007]

Hi
I have downloaded kernel 2.6.13 from www.kernel.org and kgdb-2 2.6.13 from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kgdb
I am using guides to get all things set up from:

http://kgdb.linsyssoft.com/quickstart.htm
http://www.linuxjournal.com/comment/reply/4525

I read that I can debug loadable modules with kgdb
I have not met commands in those guides “make modules” and “make modules_ install” to execute neither on development nor target machine.


How can I debug loadable modules?
Maybe I do not understand something
May be some things are missed in those guides???


Please help
Any help will be appreciated

Check out this article. Just keep in mind that modules are not compiled as the article said (that was true for 2.4 series, but not for 2.6).

hi,
i downloaded the kgdb patch for kernel 2.6.15.5 but while patching the kernel with the file i386.patch file it returned error, it seems to me that the patch was not for the right kernel also i would like to know whether there is any patch for the 2.6.18 kernel available or not?
thatx alot!!
