I tried it yesterday on my SLES 10 box. First of all, I couldn't find the
'kernel-smp-debug' or any 'debuginfo' package, the only one I could find
was called 'kernel-debug', which claimed to have the debug kernel. So I
installed that package and found the debug linux image it installed under
/boot.
For the debug kernel, you have to install kernel-debug-debuginfo to
have debugging information available. For the location, the debuginfo
packages are not on CD/DVD but only available as online repository.
If you have problems finding the location, please contact support
(yes, that's nothing for this mailinglist here, but I hope Dave
doesn't remove me from the list now ;-)).
You can always use the KOTD [1], BTW.
However, when I attempted to feed that kernel to crash, it freezed
my host. I tried it both with the smp kernel and default kernel, and both
times the host freezed up. Right now I'm planning to patch up the system
(current version is 2.6.16.46-0.12) to the latest updates and hope this
might take care of the problem.
This looks like a bug.
Thanks,
Bernhard
