yes, i thought so. i'm still a bit confused if "kdb" and "kgdb".

as http://kgdb.sourceforge.net/whichdebugger.html points out, kdb would
be the better choice here, but i don't see any "kdb" within the kernel
config nor does it seem to be a user space-tool. anyway, i have

CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y
CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y
CONFIG_KGDB=y
CONFIG_KGDB_TTYS1=y
CONFIG_XMON=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
CONFIG_BOOTX_TEXT=y

in my kernel now (still compiling), and will try to setup kgdb tomorrow
(read: today :-))

Thank you for your time,
Christian.
