Sorry. I was wrong. I forgot to run the rest of gdb command.
Now I did the following commands in gdb:
1. "directory /boot"
response: "Source directories searched: /boot:$cdir:$cwd"
2. br filp_open
response: "Breakpoint 1 at 0xc0160246: file fs/open.c, line 885."
3. cont
4. But no matter what file I opened in domU, the breakpoint was never encountered.
What's wrong?
Thanks,
lily

Thanks, Brendan.
I followed the README instruction and did follows:
1. start a domU
2. in Dom0, run "gdbserver-xen
127.0.0.1:9999 --attach 5", where 5 is the domain id of the domU
3. I got the response:
/*******************************/
Attached; pid = 5
Listening on port 9999
/*******************************/
And then, I lost connection with the domU, I tried both network and console, neither works for me.
4. I run "gdb /boot/vmlinux-syms-2.6.16.33-xenU" in dom0, hoping to reactivate domU with debug command.
the response is as follows:

when I typed "cont" command in the gdb, I got "The program is not being run."
Am I doing something wrong? Any further help will be highly appreciated.

There's a nice howto for using gdb to debug guest kernels in
tools/debugger/gdb/README.
