have not heard of such feature available, but technically, the reason why serial port is important is because it is initialized at a very early stage in linux kernel bootup, and anything that happened before that cannot be analyzed via kgdb as well. i am not sure why u need ethernet. normally my approach is to use VirtualBox running a kernel with kgdb parameters all setup, and then define a virtual serial port in VirtualBox, to connect to a pipe, and then from host OS, use gdb to attach via "target remote" to the virtual terminal, which is created via the "socat" command. Search the web for details. http://www.google.com.sg/search?q=socat+virtualbox+serial+kgdb<http://www.google.com.sg/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=socat+virtualbox+serial+kgdb> On Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 12:00 PM, Amit Nagal <helloin.amit@gmail.com> wrote:

what i know is gdb over ethernet is removed from newer kernels. Please let me know if you have some other information.

Hi ,
3.x kernel does not seem to have built in support to use kgdb over ethernet functionality . To use this , can i be guided from where i can download patch for the same and apply to 3.x series kernel ?
thanx & regards Amit Nagal
Actually i want to to debug kernel modules with kgdb - gdb connected over tcp / udp port as depicted in http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jwessel/kdb/EnableKGDB.html section 3 . but in kernel , there seems to no built in support for that .
Thanx & Regards Amit Nagal
