I compiled it myself, but from the debian kernel-source package.
Should I provide the config for the kernel?

Well, I am not used to using gdb. Can you please provide me information
on how to do this?
Calling 'gdb X' results in the following:
---/---
marco@lurkabove:~$ gdb X

And can you also tell me how I get the backtrace directly into a file instead of being printed to the terminal? Thanks for your help.
