kdb has no working console and has switched itself off

[hasan at digitalpath.net (Hasan Rashid)]

I am running Linux 2.6.22.19 with the kdb-patch, on an embedded device. I am
connected to the device via serial port as that is the only interface
available, other than Ethernet. When my kernel boots up I see the following
message " kdb has no working console and has switched itself off". And
whenever, I try echo "1" > /proc/sys/kernel/kdb I get the same message. Why
is the kernel disabling it? What do I need to enable in the kernel?

TIA!
