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?

Well if you have the source code then there is an article in it about debugging the kernel modules. On my computer it is at /usr/src/linux/Documents/debuging-modules.txt.
Hope this helps.
