Humm, not that I know of. And considering we are talking about PC hardware here (are we?), I can't imagine how it can be possible.

I thought there was a way to debug the kernel live on its own machine, as long as you have more than one processor (we do) and you don't set a breakpoint in synchronization code.

Using gdb to debug the kernel is not an easy trick. You will need a kgdb patch for the kernel, and 2 computers. 1 for running the
kernel,
and one for the debuger. These computers should be connected using a serial (RS232) cable.
Please take notice I haven't done this since the 2.0 days, so things might have changed, but I don't expect they changed much.
