Hello Keith & all,
I put on:
http://www.bullfreeware.com/linux/kdb
patches that work on our IA64 platform with kernel 2.5.72.
It is based on kdb v4.1 ia64 for 2.4.20, and the initial port you have
done of kdb i386 on 2.5.45.
The result is far from perfect.
Major restrictions are:
. only arch ia64 support.
. no keyboard support (debug through serial line only:
- new ia64 platforms have no AT keyboard.
- the kdb USB keyboard driver developped by Sebastien Lelarge
still needs to be ported on new USB code.
. breakpoints still deadlock in SMP.
. no section, rmmod commands.
. mca/init not tested.
What should work:
. parameters support.
. kernel & module symbols.
. new tpa command that translates virtual to physical addresses (ia64).
I hope this can be help, as kdb is really mandatory for 2.5.

Sinc�res salutations.
