Subject: Break point not hit while debugging linux kernel with kgdb

Hi,

I tried to debug the linux kernel with kgdb (over serial port). I have
configured the host and target machines and I am able to connect, step
in the kernel code. In gdb I gave "break usb_register_dev" and "break
usb_deregister_dev" and continued the execution (continue in gdb).
Once the desktop is up, I connected a USB device (first tried with USB
keyboard). Break point was not hit. I tried some more functions and
break points are never hit. What should I do for it? Am I missing
something?

Thanks,
Prasanna Kumar T S M
