Configure kernel with frame pointers and then try to insert the
module manually using insmod. If possible you can either use kdb/kgdb or
xen to load the module in an environment where you might have some debugging capabilities.
I have used all of the three and in my opinion, kdb is the simplest.

Hi,
I am facing a strange scenario. My kernel module contains bugs and every time I
am inserting it my system hangs. I was hoping to get a stack trace on screen in
single user mode, but it is not providing one. Contents are not written to
/var/log/messages also as I think flushing of the data to disk is not
happening.
Is this problem a common one? Do I need to compile my kernel to provide a stack
trace on console or is it configured by default? I am using a Open SUSE 10.1
kernel 2.6.18.
Your quick help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Mrunal
