The problem was of some other kind. The .config of the plain kernel was a configuration with kernel debugging already enabled (SysRq ...). After the ``make oldconfig'' in the patched kernel tree I've added the kgdb switches. This broke nearly everything. If I have ONLY the kgdb related debug options enabled all goes fine. BTW: The ``startkgdb'' program is ``gdbstart''. Thanks for your hints Frank -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
