How is ksymoops able to do that? The first few lines of ksymoops output says where its gets its data. Since it gets it from /proc/ksyms, /boot/System.map (or similar), lsmod(8) output, etc, it is completely meaningless to decode the oops on your development machine UNLESS you copy over the useful data from your embedded machine and tell ksymoops where the information can be located. (Running ksymoops -h will show you how to specify where it can find the information it desires.) I've attached a script and data file that I used frequently when debugging a recent memory leak. You will need to tweak it to match your settings; it should be very obvious what needs changing for your own setup. -- http://immunix.org/
