Read linux/Documentation/oop-stracing.txt. Without a symbolic dump of
your call trace, the oops is useless: we can't tell where in the kernel
it came from. You just need to make sure you preserve the System.map
which was built with the kernel, and look at the
linux/scripts/ksymoops.cc program which can interpret the call trace for
you.
