You have to turn on CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL in 2.6 to get most of the
kernel debug features.

After manually changing .config, you must run make oldconfig again.
Your config file and the kernel build are out of sync.  If you had run
make oldconfig, all the KDB options would have disappeared again,
because DEBUG_KERNEL was not on.

Edit .config. delete the CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL line, make oldconfig.
That will prompt you and give you a clean build.

Ignore these warnings, they are fixed in 2.6.7-bk.
