>Description:

In the FAQ, hackers.html has an item titled "Making the most of a
kernel panic".  Part of this item shows how to create a kernel with
debugging symbols.  Due to changes in the kernel build process since
this text was written, it needs a little updating.

>How-To-Repeat:



>Fix:

The bullets "cp kernel kernel.debug", "strip -d kernel", 
"mv kernel /kernel.orig/" [sic], and "cp kernel /" can all
be replaced with "make install".  It might also be good to add
a sentence to the effect that in the build directory, kernel.debug
has debugging symbols and kernel is stripped (since this fact is
no longer obvious).
