Xen devel - Sep 2007 - [Q] domU boot time debugging using xen-gdbserver

Hi All,

I setup a gdb debugging environment for domU correctly using the
instructions in tools/debugger/* .
The debugging is useful when the domU is up and running.

I want to trace the startup execution flow of the domU itself. Can
this be done using the xen-gdbserver somehow?

Any help will be appreciated.

OTOH, can i debug a HVM guest[a normal linux kernel in this case]
using the xen-gdbserver?

thanks

Yes. When you create the domain, start it off as paused, attach, then
continue. It should go without saying, but you''ll have to compile the
kernel with frame pointers which is not the default on Linux.

Yes.
