I'm trying to debug Xen remotely using serial port. I followed the instructions on the following post made in this xen-devel list:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2007-12/msg00678.html

I was able to connect gdb but I ran into a problem where even after I clear all the breakpoints, execution traps into gdb with SIGTRAP at restore_all_xen(). This only happens if I set a breakpoint and then try to continue after hitting the break point. If I simply connect gdb but continue without setting any breakpoints, everything is OK.

The post mentions some stability issues and I haven't seen any follow ups. Is this still a viable debugging method? Or is there some other method I should try?

Thanks in advance,

John
