I just found out oracles virtual box has great debugging capability including halt, go, step through, mem and rx dump and change everything needed for debugging. It was great. It also offers commands for dumping idt, gdt, ldt for guest os.
key takeaway after spending yrs on sw industry: big issue small because everyone jumps on it and fixes it. small issue is big since everyone ignores and it causes catastrophy later. #devilisinthedetails
