If you are working on a hardware independent part, it's very useful debug it on user-mode-linux using normal gdb, because it will not corrupt anything if it crashes. I believe there is some support for debugging drivers there as well, but I never tried it and would expect it's rather simplistict. -- Jan 'Bulb' Hudec <bulb@xxxxxx>
