Somethings moved around after kgdb was merged to the mainline. These are the docs for the "full kgdb" which is in the kgdb-next tree. http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jwessel/kgdb/
Only a subset of kgdb exists in the 2.6.26 kernel tree, which includes the x86 architecture, the kgdb core, and kgdboc. The kgdb-next branch can be found at: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jwessel/linux-2.6-kgdb.git;a=shortlog;h=kgdb-next Jason. Milind Dumbare wrote: > Looking great.
