Kernel Module Debugging
Question may seem illogical but I still need clarification.
Can we debug kernel modules loaded on my target system using kdb / kgdb without using any other system or remote debugging?
In other words my question is can we use kdb/kgdb to debug kernel modules running on same system?

I searched on net but all the documents guide only for remote debugging involving host and target systems.
