Does the kernel 2.6.24-18.32 support KGDB??

[Amit Kucheria]

Hi Rod,

Any reason you are using the older 2.6.27 LPIA kernel and not the new
2.6.27-based kernel?

You can download the precompiled package from
http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/pool/main/l/linux-lpia/linux-image-2.6.27-3-lpia_2.6.27-3.3_lpia.deb

For compilation, please use instructions given at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMaintenanceStarter. Basically do NOT use
'make menuconfig' to change configs.

Regards,
Amit
