Using kgdb (2)

Then also pass kgdbwait to the kernel: it makes kgdb wait for a debugger connection.
Boot your kernel, and when the console is initialized, interrupt the kernel with [Alt][SyrRq][g].
On your workstation, start gdb as follows: % gdb ./vmlinux (gdb) set remotebaud 115200 (gdb) target remote /dev/ttyS0
Once connected, you can debug a kernel the way you would debug an application program.
