There is no 2.6 version of kgdb currently. The 2.4 version also has some problems that makes it better to not use it at all.
My plan was to do a fresh port from the code in -mm* and get rid of many of the ugly hacks in 2.4. Doing this properly requires adding dwarf2 annotation to entry.S and other assembly files. This would allow to get rid of the "interrupt threads" hack in 2.4 because gdb could directly backtrace through exception/interrupts.
