Hey,
        You might 
have tried patching the sources available with the Red Hat  LINUX. Try to 
get fresh kernel sources, and then apply the patch. It should work with 
that.

Cheers,
Kedar.

  Subject: Trouble in setting up of KGDB 

  Hi, 

      I'm trying to install KGDB 
  patch into my Linux Kernel. I downloaded the patch that matched my Kernel 
  version. 
  I patched the kernel with command "patch -p1 
  <kgdb-2.4.2-2 " in the /usr/src/linux-2.4 directory. While patching the 
  kernel
  it asked for particular files to patch, which I 
  ignored, since I could not find the 
  appropriate files. Thereafter, I could not find the gdbstub entry in the 
  kernel hacking menu item in the menuconfig.

  Am I taking the right steps to patch the 
  kernel.

  Do anyone have the working experience of patching 
  the kernel with KGDB and using the 
  same to perform remote debugging. 

  Expecting your advice

  Regards,
  Rupa
