I'm analyzing a problem where when KGDB is compiled for the kernel, the device node for one of our drivers does not appear. If we unconfigure KGDB, the device node appears fine. It's completely reproducible. No other changes to the config file. The config file settings for KGDB are: CONFIG_KGDB=y CONFIG_KGDBOC=y CONFIG_KGDBOC_NOMODULE=y CONFIG_KGDB_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_SERIAL_POLL=y I'm wondering if it's a udev problem or something else. I have noticed that when KGDB is not configured and the device node is created, there is an entry at: /sys/class/misc/fpga When KGBD is configured, there is no such entry in sysfs. Does this entry get created after udev does it's thing, or is udev dependent on the sysfs entry being created? If udev is dependent on the sysfs entry, does anyone have any idea why this entry would not get created, but only if KGDB is configured? We are running udev 104-2 on linux 2.6.21 Any help or insight is appreciated.
