GDB: File format not recognized. (Suse Linux 7.1, Kernel 2.4.3)

[Stefan Eilers]

Hello !

I'm sorry if I am in the wrong newsgroup, but found nothing better...

I tried to load the symbol information of a linux kernel, to start a
remote debugging session.

But gdb is reacting like this on the command "symbol-file vmlinuz":

This GDB was configured as "i386-suse-linux"..."/boot/vmlinuz": can't
read symbols: File format not recognized.


Could someone please help and tell me how to load the symbol
informations !?


Thanks a lot !
