Hello all, I'm trying to use KGDB on a target machine + GDB on the host, connected via ethernet. Regarding KGDB, I'm having problems because I can't boot the target machine into KGDB. When I boot it, it boots normally, i. e. it ends up entering the OS. What have I done so far:
I have downloaded kernel 2.6.32.4 from www.kernel.org and prepared the compilation with menuconfig, enabling the KGDB otions. After that, I've compiled the kernel using the "sudo make && sudo make modules && sudo make modules_install && sudo make install" commands. After that, If I boot the newly-compiled kernel, KGDB won't start, i. e., the kernel boots till the end as usual, and enters the OS, so I don't see the expected "Waiting for connection from remote gdb..." message. 1. My KGDB .config debugging symbols: [...] CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_KGDB=y CONFIG_KGDB=y CONFIG_KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS=y # CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS_ON_BOOT is not set [...] 2. My grub.conf (remember I'm planning to use an ethernet connection): [...] title CentOS (2.6.32.4) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32.4 ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_centos6-lv_root rd_NO_LUKS LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rd_LVM_LV=vg_centos6/lv_swap rd_NO_MD SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=pt-latin1 rd_LVM_LV=vg_centos6/lv_root rd_NO_DM rhgb quiet crashkernel=auto kgdbwait kgdbcon kgdboe=@10.3.3.149/,@10.3.3.32 initrd /initramfs-2.6.32.4.img [...] Anybody has a hint on why can't I make KGDB to get working? If someone can help me, I'd deeply grateful.
