Subject: Re: State of kgdb on x86-64

It was working at the point that I tested it with the 2.6.24-rc5 on
x86_64.  However I suspect my kernel config may differ drastically from
what you are using.

Without any other context provided than the generic message, it is hard
to know what might have happened.
