Hi,

       I am trying to setup kgdb over ethernet. I have downloaded linux-2.6.15.5.tar.gz and linux-2.6.15.5-kgdb-2.4.tar.gz. I have unpacked both of these and applied the following patches

 

core-lite.patch

i386-lite.patch

8250.patch

eth.patch

core.patch

i386.patch

 

Then I have configured the kernel. while configuration, I have selected ethernet support for kgdb after selecting kgdb support.

Then I have given the command make bzImage and transfered both system.map amd bzImage to the target machine and placed them in /boot ditectory.

Then I have made the following changes to the grub.conf file

 

 

# grub.conf generated by anaconda

#

# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file

# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that

# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.

# root (hd0,6)

# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda7

# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img

#boot=/dev/hda

default=2

timeout=10

splashimage=(hd0,6)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-8)

root (hd0,6)

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi

initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-8.img

title KGDB Linux (2.6.15.5)

root (hd0,6)

kernel /boot/bzImage ro root=/dev/hda7 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/,@192.168.0.2/ kgdbwait

console=ttyS0,115200

 

title WinXprofessional

rootnoverify (hd0,0)

chainloader +1

 

I am getting an error "could not establish the connection to remote host" when I am trying to connect to the target as follows at gdb.

 

target remote udp:192.168.0.1:6443

 

Please let me know if any thing wrong in my grub.conf file and what are the modules should i include in kernel while configuration process. I am using PCs one with SiS LAN card and another with Real-Tech.I have also tried with the systems both with Real-Tech LAN cards. While configuration, I have included support for these as well.

 

 

Please help me.

 

Thanks in advance,

Prasad.B
