You'll need to run that through ksymoops first John, or else the
Oops report is not very useful since the kernel offsets are
different for every kernel compile. If you put the System.map
file in /boot, you should end up with symbolic Oops information
in your /var/log/messages after a reboot.

Without that info, the above addresses effectively point to
nowhere.

Hope this helps.
Happy New Year!
