I tried it yesterday on my SLES 10 box. First of all, I couldn't find 
the 'kernel-smp-debug' or any 'debuginfo' package, the only one I could 
find was called 'kernel-debug', which claimed to have the debug kernel. 
So I installed that package and found the debug linux image it installed 
under /boot. However, when I attempted to feed that kernel to crash, it 
freezed my host. I tried it both with the smp kernel and default kernel, 
and both times the host freezed up. Right now I'm planning to patch up 
the system (current version is 2.6.16.46-0.12) to the latest updates and 
hope this might take care of the problem.
