In addition, all the breakpoints and continues and steps work fine for me.

(kgdb) bt #0 0xf01adf7d in Debugger () #1 0xf01caf31 in sgetc () #2 0xf01c6737 in pcvt_timeout () #3 0xf01092a4 in softclock () which seems slow to me... but at least you see that much.. you can't DO anything though.. even 'cont' doesn't work... I must be doing something wrong.. Waht does a good config look like? and a good .gdbinit file?
