I couldn't quickly figure out how to recover the uncompressed kernel from the vmlinuz (lzma) short of recompiling. Here's the relevant section of System.map if that's of any use.... # grep 'ffffffff817d0' /boot/System.map-2.6.36-rc4-00166-g151b6a5 ffffffff817d0190 T usbhid_lookup_quirk ffffffff817d02e0 T usbhid_quirks_exit ffffffff817d0380 T usbhid_quirks_init ffffffff817d05e0 t hiddev_lookup_report ffffffff817d0690 t hiddev_write ffffffff817d06b0 t hiddev_poll ffffffff817d0720 t hiddev_usbd_probe ffffffff817d0730 T hiddev_exit ffffffff817d0750 T hiddev_disconnect ffffffff817d07e0 t hiddev_fasync ffffffff817d0800 t hiddev_release ffffffff817d08d0 t hiddev_open ffffffff817d0af0 t hiddev_ioctl_string ffffffff817d0c70 t hiddev_ioctl_usage If there's a tool to expand vmlinuz => vmlinux, I love to hear about it. If you need me to recompile to get what you need, I can do that. > (sticking two printk()s in there should do the same as well). If you give me a patch with exactly the debug stuff you want, I can compile that instead. Unfortunately, I have some work to do later today that I have to boot this box into Windows for (CADD), so my compiling and testing window is narrow (until tomorrow).
