FW: [lkcd-general] This kernel supports KDB but LKCD was invoked directly, not via KDB....

As expected.

You have a misapplied patch to arch/i386/kernel/traps.c.  It is calling
lkcd before kdb.  die() in arch/i386/kernel/traps.c should look like this.

void die(const char * str, struct pt_regs * regs, long err)
{
	console_verbose();
	spin_lock_irq(&die_lock);
	bust_spinlocks(1);
	handle_BUG(regs);
	printk("%s: %04lx\n", str, err & 0xffff);
	show_registers(regs);
	bust_spinlocks(0);
	spin_unlock_irq(&die_lock);
#ifdef  CONFIG_KDB
	kdb_diemsg = str;
	kdb(KDB_REASON_OOPS, err, regs);
#endif  /* CONFIG_KDB */
	dump((char *)str, regs);
	do_exit(SIGSEGV);
}

Note that dump() is called after kdb.
