Hello, I think I decoded this Oops correctly. The crash occurs before the disk is mounted, so I am unable to access the contents of /proc/ksyms and /proc/modules. However, the decoding using the modules and System.map looks reasonable. Is the decoding accurate? ksymoops -o /lib/modules/2.6.12-rc1-mm1/ -m /boot/System.map-2.6.12-rc1-mm1 < oops ksymoops 2.4.9 on i686 2.6.11-bk5.
