Whatz the Speciality of a Debug Kernel

Feb 27, 2006 0 Replies

Hi, I wish to know how exactly the Debug kernel gets differentiated from Normal Kernel.



More specifically, While compiling Debug kernel what happpens?


I have this question bcoz of a critical problem we are facing with a Network driver.



The Network driver works well with the Debug Kernel but it crashes with the Normal kernel. It crashes with the error: Unaligned program counter 00e0.



This is not happening with the Debug Kernel. It works fine. So, I wish to know how exactly Debug kernel is built.( so that there is not unalignment problem)



Any hints or suggestions for fixing this problem.



Thanks, SaranJothy.
