Break in sys_init_module instead and step by step in sources and in the function call. Search on lwn.net for "module debugging" to have more info about debugging modules in standard Linux; those indications work even in UML, but since you want to debug module_init you must get those info (the relocation info) not with cat /sys but by looking at kernel variables. If I had time I could write an howto, but I don't have such time. However look in the uml-devel and uml-user archives, I answered a similar mail much time ago in more detail. > The primary component of my debugging effort is in a module, so it > behooves me to be able to break in modules.
