If you have installed a current MAP File for the kernel (which is done
automatically by the kernel installer package), syslogd/klogd will be able
to read this and will display all Ptr references in lines from the kernel
with the resolved symbol. This is a good start for debugging, have u ever
looked into /var/log/messages?
Apr 6 21:19:28 lina syslogd 1.3-3#25: restart.
Apr 6 21:19:28 lina kernel: klogd 1.3-3, log source = /proc/kmsg started.
Apr 6 21:19:29 lina kernel: Cannot find map file.
Apr 6 21:19:29 lina kernel: Error seeking in /dev/kmem
Apr 6 21:19:29 lina kernel: Error adding kernel module table entry.
-> no support for translation, because the /System.map file was not found.
