c360 HPUX 11.0 kwdb support

I want to use kwdb to attach to kernel at boot - trying to do this the host won't attach to target using RS232. After failing with "kwdb_config_kern" I looked at the script and see it looking for label "kwdb_attach" in the kernel. My vmunix (circa 1997) does not have this label. I've looked at patches to update kernel with no success. What do I need to do to allow kwdb debugging on this system?

thanks

The only reference I found to kwdb and hpux is in 11 and 11i, and I found it in a patch?

http://us-support3.external.hp.com/wpsl/bin/doc.pl/screen=wpslDisplayPatch/sid=b0a0aa8416688c0468?PATCH_PATH=/hp-ux_patches/s700_800/11.X/PHSS_25985&HW=s800&OS=11.00

But no reference to kwdb_attach.

What other info do you have? OS release level?

Thanks harry ... I searched further as you did - coming to the conclusion that kwdb needs a much newer OS and that nddb was more suited to what I need for this OS.

Readng doc on nddb was quite helpful in understanding my problem limitations. I have the nddb gui up and target is paused - still working on getting RS232 communication happy.
