Is adding debug symbols to a kernel module as simple as adding -g to the gcc 
command? If not, would you point me at a web page that shows how to compile the 
debug symbols with a kernel module.

Thanks,
Jason

Debug symbols for afsd are contained in the openafs-debuginfo package. We're 
not currently distributing debug symbols for kernel modules.

Patches for this are, of course, very welcome.
