Thread-topic: State of current Xen debugger

I am trying to debug a problem where the hypervisor is hanging hard.  Not even the NMI watchdog is triggering a reboot.  So I wanted to hook up a debugger.  What is the state of the current debuggers out there?  Any input on how I should set it up (kdb, gdb, etc) and pointers to a good wiki page are much appreciated.  I did perform a Google search and found some links but I want to hear from the current developers as to what is most stable and useful for debugging this type of hard hang.  I only have a serial port PCI-express card to use as the laptop has no built in port.

Thank you in advance.

Roger R. Cruz
