Nothing special here.  I erased my .gdbinit file because it was only
setting some extra breakpoints.

I do make sure not to set the console= to anything when I am using the
connected debugger as the console device.  There are probably a great
deal of configuration possibility that could cause something or other
not to work.

I guess I would ask the question if gdb is connecting at all?  The other
possibility is that your kernel is crashing before console init, which
is the first point you would see any messages anyway.

The pxe kernel params I was using are:

ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.0.1.2:/space/exp/x86 rw
kgdb8250=ttyS0,115200 kgdbcon kgdbwait

So again there is nothing particularly special there.  The test I ran
was an ARCH=i386 smp config on a 2 processor target.

Jason.
