Was very helpful, thanks you! It will be great to have an article or video about the using the kernel image and making the .img file, about initrd or initramfs, all those concepts.

Thank you so much for making this tutorial. The -s -S flag in qemu and hb in gdb saved me a lot of time figuring out breaking into kernel and create breakpoint.

Nice video! I wish I had seen this couple of months ago when I had to do this at work. There were some videos, but I think this one was the most informative

[JBudOner]

Super helpful. I took it a step further and attached a rootfs and run under VSCode. Any reason you don't have commenting enabled on your blog? I was hoping to provide steps for those who want those extra pieces
