Hi Keith, Everyone,

I have been using kdb in linux-2.5 kernels doing the quick
hacks necessary to make kdb work with recent kernels.  I just
upgraded to kdb-4.2 and linux-2.5.69.  I hope that others will
find this work useful so I'm making a patch available here:
	
	http://www.ccur.com/realtime/oss/

The patch is based on the SGI patches (kdb-v4.2-2.4.20-common-1
and kdb-v4.2-2.4.20-i386-1).  The web page above has two versions
of the patch.  One is a single large patch which includes the SGI
patches that can be applied directly to linux-2.5.69.  The second
patch is only my changes.  It can be applied to a linux-2.5.69
kernel which has been patched with the SGI patches e.g.:
	
	bzcat kdb-v4.2-2.4.20-common-1.bz2 | patch -p1 -f
	bzcat kdb-v4.2-2.4.20-i386-1.bz2 | patch -p1 -f
	bzcat kdb-v4.2-2.5.69-jhdelta1.bz2 | patch -p1
	

Since my last version of this patch, I have sorted out the issues with
module symbol tables and added the symbol table support needed for symbol
name completion.  I have also put a couple days into making modules/kdbm_pg.c
and modules/kdbm_vm.c compile.

The following features are not working:
     -	Module and section related commands.
     -	Kill command.

Keith, I hope that you will release an offical kdb for 2.5 kernels.
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
