There is no kernel debugger (yet). I started working on one last year
based on "KWDB" from HPUX. I've added the kernel hooks (CONFIG_KWDB).
But I (a) didn't get it working and (b) didn't get permission to publish
the KWDB base. My advice is for someone to take the SGI KDB and make it
work for parisc-linux and changing CONFIG_KWDB to CONFIG_KDB.

This is explained in the FAQ or HWDB "introduction" someplace.
Someone *in* HP has to care enough to review the documentation
and get it past the lawyers. I don't. Search the parisc-linux
mail archive for "SPIFI" if you want more...
