Hi, When i write a makefile to build a kernel module how should i make sure that it contains debugging symbols? So that when i will use gdb over serial line to debug the module, i can use "add-symbol-file"? -- -aft

IIRC, it's in kernel hacking section during make config/menuconfig/xconfig. Find "kernel debug" or something like that. Then check the resulting config. You should find that CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y Or...if it's a stock kernel from your distro repository, just install the kernel debug symbol package. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com
