I've compiled and set up Bochs correctly to run its GDB stub and have remotely attached GDB to Bochs running my kernel successfully. The issue comes when I try to debug the kernel. GDB only seems to understand certain source code lines as being such, when I break at the beginning of main I can stepi as far as a I want, but if I enter "next" to go to the next source line or "step" GDB just runs the kernel as though I'd said "continue". Also, whenever I look up the value of a variable it reports a value of 0xffffffff.

What's going on with this thing? It reports being able to read the symbols from my kernel correctly!
