I'm not sure if one can gdb kernel code, but see my previous email:  the 
preempt-rt kernel runs the real-time stuff all in user space.  That's 
why we don't get the /proc debugging stuff you're used to with RTAI, and 
why we can use gdb.  The downside is that an optimistic latency value is 
30ms compared to, I seem to remember, <10ms for RTAI or RT-Linux (you 
folks will know that better than me).
