Kernel Debugging

Hi all

 We have 2 Linux Machines (redhat 6.1 2.2.12-20) connected back to back by a cross cable.
 we applied the patch from from kgdb and went step by step as explained.
     The "Readme" says that "after applying the patch, when u reboot the
 machine and pass "gdb" to the kernel, it should wait for gdb connection via
 the serial connection from the remote machine"
     But for us when we passed the gdb to the linux kernel it doesn't wait
 and it boots up normally.
     In this case what might be the problem.
 Is it a Compilation or Lilo problem or the way we pass gdb to the kernel. We
 don't know where we are erring
 
Please Help

Regards
Mani
