The files here are the kdb patches for the Fedora 9 kernel. 

SGI's naming convention is followed. To this is added the term "f9" to 
denote that it's specific to the Fedora 9 kernel (and not the kernel.org 
kernel, which the original patches use). 

Following the "f9" is a release number. Thus the file
	kdb-v4.4-2.6.25-x86-2-f9-b.bz2

is the F9 patch, revision "b", to the corresponding SGI patch:
	kdb-v4.4-2.6.25-x86-2.bz2

To install this patch, and build an F9 kernel with kdb support:
0. Set up your kernel source tree:
	0.1 wget http://.../kernel-2.6.25-14.fc9.src.rpm
	0.2 rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.25-14.fc9.src.rpm
	0.3 cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
	0.4 rpmbuild -bp kernel.spec
		- This will extract and patch the entire Fedora kernel source,
			and put it in /usr/src/redhat/BUILD

1. Copy these patches to your system. Say in ~/kdb-patches:
	1.1 mkdir ~/kdb-patches
	1.2 cd ~/kdb-patches
	1.3 wget http://www.supercomputer.org/public/fedora/f9/kdb/k*2
	1.4 Get the following patches from: 
		ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb/download/v4.4
			kdb-v4.4-2.6.25-common-1.bz2  
			kdb-v4.4-2.6.25-x86-2.bz2

2. Extract them:
	2.1 cd ~/kdb-patches
	2.2 bunzip2 *
	2.3 P=`pwd`

3. Apply the patches.
	3.1 cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/XXX/linux-2.6.25.x86_64
		patch -p1 < $P/kdb-v4.4-2.6.25-common-1.bz2  
		patch -p1 < $P/kdb-v4.4-2.6.25-x86-2
		patch -p1 < $P/kdb-v4.4-2.6.25-x86-2-f9-b

Now you can build and install your kernel. During the `make *config`
make certain that kdb is enabled.
	E.g.: make mrproper
		cp configs/*debug* .config
		make oldconfig
		make
		make modules_install
		make install
