Kdbg is a GUI wrapper for gdb. So if what you're debugging prevents
you from getting to a GUI to run kdbg, I think you're in CLI
territory. If you're just wanting more debug information from the
kernel itself when running into problems, then you may find the
pre-built debug kernels adequate or at least their config file for
starters on what's been enabled.
