$ cd /usr/src/linux/scripts
$ g++ -o ksymoops ksymoops.cc -I/usr/include/g++
$ cp ksymoops /usr/local/bin

Then, when you get an oops, you can:

  1. Save the oops (get it from /var/log/syslog) to ~/some_oops
  2. ksymoops [System.map for kernel] < some_oops

and you'll find out exacly where/what went wrong...
