I found a document called "KernelProgramming.pdf" that provided a lot of instructions, which I've looked at, but it wasn't totally clear on these points. It only talks about remote debugging, but doesn't explicitly say that local debugging is out. If a breakpoint brings the whole kernel to a stop, then it makes sense that debugging would have to be done remotely only. Not entirely. If OSX had a libkvm and gdb support for it, you could at least examine variables locally while the machine is live. This can be very useful. As it is now, you must halt the machine and attach a remote debugger. FWIW, libkvm is present on Mac OS X/Darwin. Don't know if the Darwin gdb is set up to use it though. Regards, Justin -- Justin C.
