Re: Kernel Debugging

I got a bunch of ????? marks on serial console once the kernel gets run from
"ppcboot", and then I start GDB with cmd "target remote /dev/ttyS0" on the
host. The GDB got messages like "Ignoring packet error, continuing..." and
then timeed out to close connection.

This is usually an indication that you tried to rn the  native  (x86)
GDB  which  will not be anle to communicate with a PPC target. Please
use the PPC cross version of GDB instead (ppc_8xx-gdb).
