| CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER to aid in producing more reliable stack |
| backtraces in the external debugger. Documentation of |
| kernel debugger is available at http://kgdb.sourceforge.net |

| This integer controls the behaviour of kdb when the kernel gets a |
| catastrophic error, i.e. for a panic or oops. |
| When KDB is active and a catastrophic error occurs, nothing extra |
| will happen until you type 'go'. |
| CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 0 (default). The first time |
| you type 'go', you will be warned by kdb. The secend time you type |
| 'go', KDB tries to continue. No guarantees that the |
| kernel is still usable in this situation. |
| CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 1. KDB tries to continue. |
| No guarantees that the kernel is still usable in this situation. |
| CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 2. KDB forces a reboot. |
| If you are not sure, say 0. |
