Very Basic Newbie Question

Hello,

I'm new to real world kernel hacking (recently finished a course in school
on linux kernel basics). I was hoping to get some insight from y'all about
debugging tools and methods/strategies while debugging the kernel. I know
lots of tools exist, like UML,Ptrace,kdb, remote gdb, DProbes, etc...just
wanted some insight into which tools are better to use, or whether it
depends on what part of kernel you're debugging. I've used User Mode Linux
(UML), and gdb with UML, but dont know if thats the best approach.

Any insights, comments would be highly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hari
