Hi All i've ubuntu8.10 with kernel 2.6.27 installed in my system. I've to debug the kernel using kgdb, for that i searched on net and found that kgdb is avaliaible only for 2.6.15 kernel source. so i downloaded 2.6.15 kernel source and did everything to compile it referring the link:- [COLOR="DarkRed"]http://beginlinux.wordpress.com/2008/12/03/how-to-compile-an-ubuntu-810-kernel/[/COLOR] (i copied the config file from the kernel installed in my machine having kernel 2.6.27)but in the compilatoin it is giving me the error:

include/asm/mpspec_def.h:78: warning: packed attribute ignored for field of type unsigned char[6] arch/i386/kernel/apic.c: In function smp_apic_timer_interrupt: arch/i386/kernel/apic.c:1136: sorry, unimplemented: inlining failed in call to smp_local_timer_interrupt: function body not available [COLOR="Lime"]arch/i386/kernel/apic.c:1205: sorry, unimplemented: called from here make[1]: * [arch/i386/kernel/apic.o] Error 1 make: * [arch/i386/kernel] Error 2[/COLOR]

so how to work around this problem? plz help.

and one more thing is there any version of kgdb available to debug the 2.6.27 kernel?

thanks
