Kernelnewbies Digest, Vol 73, Issue 3

[John Smith]

Hi Andrey,

Can you help post some good/still relevant links? Call me stupid, I did google, found a few websites, and most of them are kind of out of contexts(don't know how to follow). For beginners, step-by-step tutorials are the best. so far, sounds like kgdb is promising, but it requires a lot of backgrounds to start with. I still have not figured out the exact steps.

Thank you,

You'd better budget some time to google a bit and watch conference
videos showing debugging techniques :) There are fine videos from past
Kernel Recipes conferences.
