Some boards, such as Malta, decide to skip kgdb _even when_ you configure it. To activate kgdb, you need to pass command line args, such as "kgdb=ttyS1", to kernel. What a smart idea. :) Check the source for your board. What I like to see is kgdb should be activated when it is configured. However, "nokgdb" argument can be passed to kernel to skip it even when kgdb is configured. Jun
