Officially supported kernel versions for kdb 1.2 are 2.3.99-pre2 and
2.4.0-test1, but versions close enough to those may (or may not)
work. Please look at /use/share/doc/kernel-patch-kdb/README.Debian
for more info.
.
Version 0.6 of kdb is also provided for those with a 2.2.13 kernel.
It known not to apply on 2.2.14 and 2.2.15, but seems to apply to
2.2.12.
