patches applies with some fuzz/offset to current kernel-source-2.4.27. didn't try to run it. version 1.9 is 9 month old. nevertheless people wanting to use a debugger should use -mm trees. akpm includes up2date kgdb patches. so i do not see a real value of that patch. -- maks kernel janitor http://janitor.kernelnewbies.org/
