Wow!!!! great blog post there... a must read for me and possibly the
rest of all newbies here....

Oh and I forgot my usual tips in such case: use qemu...attach gdb to
qemu's gdb stub.... use -s and -S options...it will stop the guest
invocation right from the initial startup. Assuming you compile guest
kernel with frame pointer and sufficient debug symbols, it would be
easy for you to explore the kernel code :)
