You have to turn on CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL in 2.6 to get most of the kernel debug features. >So, I add the following lines to .config: >CONFIG_KDB=y >CONFIG_KDB_MODULES=n >CONFIG_KDB_OFF=n >CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y >CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y >Then I get the following compile error: >kdb/kdbmain.c:1671: error: parse error before numeric constant >kdb/kdbmain.c:1674: error: `reason' undeclared here (not in a function) >kdb/kdbmain.c:1678: error: parse error before '&' token >kdb/kdbmain.c:1678: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `atomic_inc' >kdb/kdbmain.c:1678: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype >kdb/kdbmain.c:1678: error: conflicting types for `atomic_inc' After manually changing .config, you must run make oldconfig again. Your config file and the kernel build are out of sync. If you had run make oldconfig, all the KDB options would have disappeared again, because DEBUG_KERNEL was not on. Edit .config. delete the CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL line, make oldconfig. That will prompt you and give you a clean build. Ignore these warnings, they are fixed in 2.6.7-bk. kdb/kdbsupport.c: In function `kdb_task_state_char': kdb/kdbsupport.c:918: warning: passing arg 1 of `task_curr' discards qualifiers from pointer target type kdb/kdbmain.c: In function `kdb_ps_suppressed': kdb/kdbmain.c:2972: warning: passing arg 1 of `next_thread' discards qualifiers from pointer target type --------------------------- Use http://oss.sgi.com/ecartis to modify your settings or to unsubscribe.
