Hello, For those who are interested, VMware has made available a free pre-release version of its Workstation 7.0 product, with support for replay and reverse debugging of Linux guests using gdb from the host. This is a free download with a time-limited serial number, and minimal intrusive requirements (registration with any email address, and agreeing to a EULA). Among the nifty things supported are fully deterministic replay debugging of guest kernels, including all drivers and modules, starting right from kernel start-up (and including reverse debugging). User-mode multi-thread reverse/replay debugging is also supported. This is full-system replay, if you go backwards your windows will undraw themselves, files will unwrite themselves, etc. All processes on the system will run backward in sync with each other. Packets will return to their senders, etc. Download from here (I hope installation instructions are clear): http://communities.vmware.com/community/beta/workstation "Getting Started" user docs are here: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-10714 Please let me know if you have any problems or comments.
