Hi Pavan,

> Can any one give information on how to enable the kdb for kernel.
first, compile the kernel with kdb :)

then use kdb=on as bootparam or do echo "1" > /proc/sys/kernel/kdb to activate 
it if you compiled with "KDB off per default".

KDB enters automatically if a panic() occurs or if you press the "Pause" key.

Informations about this and further details:
- cd Documentation/kdb/
- read the man's :)

ciao, Marc
