| 11 | If you say Y here, it will be possible to remotely debug the kernel | |
| 12 | using gdb. This enlarges your kernel ELF image disk size by several | |
| 13 | megabytes and requires a machine with more than 16 MB, better 32 MB | |
| 14 | RAM to avoid excessive linking time. This is only useful for kernel | |
| 15 | hackers. If unsure, say N. | |

| 36 | If you say Y here, GDB stub will break into the program as soon as | |
| 37 | possible, leaving the program counter at the beginning of | |
| 38 | start_kernel() in init/main.c. | |

| 44 | If you are using GDB for remote debugging over a serial port and | |
| 45 | would like kernel messages to be formatted into GDB $O packets so | |
| 46 | that GDB prints them as program output, say 'Y'. | |
