I am trying to debug linux kernel running on sabre lite board using jtag and gdb on my host machine. During debugging I insert a break point at "do_fork()" and allow the kernel to continue its execution. As soon as I enter "ls" command on my sabre lite board the breakpoint gets hit after which the kernel panics.
Here is the log generated on the console terminal of sabre lite board:
