Re: Neomagic fb driver oopses with linux 2.5

I noticed that ksymoops complained about not being able to open
/proc/ksyms which seems to have gone in 2.5. Can this cause a
misinterpretation of the raw oops data?

Anyway, I managed to connect to the laptop via a serial line and hope
to be able to track down the problem a little more this way.

Hm. It has changed again. Anyone know the current method for backtracing.

I have recompiled the kernel with debugging symbols included, and gdb
thinks the oops occurs at line 264 in cfbimgblt.c. I don't know how
accurate this is, though, since this line is in function
fast_imageblit() while the backtrace rather pointed at cfb_imageblit().
