A note on the side: You may find it well worth your time to check out FireWire kdp and FireWire gdb in the FireWire23SDK (NOT the versions included with your dev tools, they are outdated)
I find FireWire kdp to be much more reliable than kernel gdb over ethernet, and I have the impression that many people on this list share my view.

Yes. GDB doesn't know anything about symbols you haven't told it about. (I thought I tried that, but I could have been wrong.) Do I need a "debugging kernel"with symbols? Is there one available that I don't have to build myself?
Yes. Apple has provided Kernel Debug Kits for some time now for this exact purpose. Take a look at < http://developer.apple.com/hardwaredrivers/download>. The readme in the Kernel Debug Kit shows how to use it and has links to related reference documentation.
