When you reach difficulties, QEMU makes it possible to easily GDB step debug the Linux kernel source code, see: <<gdb>>.

While hacking QEMU, you will likely want to GDB step its source. That is trivial since QEMU is just another userland program like any other, but our setup has a shortcut to make it even more convenient, see: <<debug-the-emulator>>.
