Hi Gavinux,
kbd is an assembly language level tool. If you want
source level debug then you might be happier with
gdb and the kgdb stub.
kdb has support for modules. You load the module
with the usual insmod or modprobe command. Loading
the module makes its global symbols available in
kdb.
If you need to get control before the module executes
you could hunt down the mod->init() call in
sys_init_module() and put a breakpoint there.
