Start qemu and activate its gdb server. before that, prepare a kernel image that is compiled with debug info included and frame pointer included. Then start qemu with this kernel. Start another console/xterm/whatever and execute gdb. Give the path to kernel image so it acts as symbol file. Then tell gdb to connect to qemu's gdb port. put a breakpoint in a function and do "bt". You may need to apply non mainline qemu patches to make it run "linearly" to make debugging easier. regards, Mulyadi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
