I noticed that gdb breakpoints don't seem to work when running a 2.6 kernel.... do other people see this problem too? I guess it might be a icache flushing problem, but I don't see why 2.6 will be different from 2.4. Does anybody have some time to look into this? thanks, randolph -- Randolph Chung Debian GNU/Linux Developer, hppa/ia64 ports http://www.tausq.org/
