Hello all,
I updated the previous port of kdb on 2.5.72 ia64 to kdb v4.3 on:
http://www.bullfreeware.com/linux/kdb
It has same limitations, just a fix for calling bh_enable() only when
interrupts are enabled (Problem is seen on 2.5 when kdb() is called
from kdb_ipi(), due to WARN_ON() in this code, but also exists in 2.4).
Hoping this can help. Please don't expect too much fixes from me until
september.
Xavier
