I've build 2.4.18 kernel with the kdb patch. However when I break into the debugger by pressing the <pause> key, the output is not coming out at VT1. I have to hit <alt><F10> to prior to hitting <pause> to see it. I thought the default for keb was to use VT1, so now I'm confused. Is this the normal behavior ??
