hangs with kdb-v2.3 and problems with kdb-v2.1

[Joe]

I applied patches 
kdb-v2.3-2.4.18-common-1.bz2 
kdb-v2.3-2.4.18-i386-1.bz2
in that order to a 2.4.18 kernel and the system hung
when i pressed break in single user mode.

This is what some of the output in the hang looks like
I couldnt do a cut paste so i copied down what seemed
like the most relevant. Let me know if there is a
better way to do this.

Stack trace ...

Code: .....

kdb: Debugger re-entered on cpu 0, new reason = 5
Not executing a kdb command
 No longjmp available for recovery
Cannot recover, allowing event to proceed
 <0>Kernel panic : Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
In interrupt handler - not syncing
kdb: Debugger re-entered on cpu 0, new reason = 13
  Not executing a kdb command
  No longjmp available for recovery
 Cannot recover, allowing event to proceed

With version 2.1 i applied patch
kdb-v2.1-2.4.18-common-3 successfully however when i
tried applying patch kdb-v2.1-2.4.18-i386-1 i had
problems with error messages like 

kdb-2.4-arch-i386/include/asm-i386/ptrace.h:No such
file . Similar problems with
kdb-2.4-arch-i386/0_hw_irq.h

Does this seem familiar to any one

any help would be appreciated
