Re: Problem with kdb-v4.4-2.6.9

Hi, Dean,

Thanks for your quick response.
The two patches I applied on my 2.6.9 i386 kernel are:

1. kdb-v4.4-2.6.9-common-2
2. kdb-v4.4-2.6.9-i386-1

Are these two patches the most updated one for 2.6.9 
i386 kernel ? or there are other patches that I need 
to apply ? Thanks,

John W.
