It works for me. Did you use the correct patch? You should be using
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb/download/ix86/kdb-v1.8-2.4.5.gz for that
kernel. Is it a standard 2.4.5 kernel or has it been patched by a
distributor? If it has been patched then there is no guarantee that
kdb will work.
Assuming you have the correct patch and you are applying it to a clean
kernel, you need to debug kdb. You will need to compile and boot with
a serial console, see Documentation/serial-console.txt. Boot with
kdb=early, enter the command "set KDBDEBUG=0xff" and go. Capture all
the kdb debug output on the serial console and send it to me. NOTE: I
need the exact output, not "somewhat like this".
