Inside the Linux kernel debugger

Posted by Hemos on from the don't-violate-SCO dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Here's a good article that shows you how to install and set up the kernel debugger (KDB) to trace Linux kernel execution and examine memory and data structures. The best part is, you don't need a separate machine for debugging."

    is more of a Intoduction to KDB then an inside thing.

    Huh? All he's saying is that GUI-fied debuggers are nicer than console ones. I've used windbg (one of the ones he mentions) to write and debug kernel-mode drivers on NT. I don't see why you think he hasn't a clue. Just because you use Linux doesn't mean you know everything there is to know about computers!

    No, no, debuggers can have GUIs. Kernels can't have GUIs. "Windoze" people generally have strange view of computing? Are you really that much of a zealot, or have I just been trolled?
