 Create a directory /var/log/ksymoops/, owned by root, mode 0644 or
 0600, then reproduce the oops.  On that directory you'll find several
 files named like:

 20010602.log
 20010602135630.ksyms
 20010602135630.modules

 you are interested in the last two.  As you might have guessed, the
 name of the file is a timestamp (YYYYMMDDHHMMSS).

 Once you have your oops, save it to a file, say xfs.oops and do
 something like this:

 $ ksymoops -v /boot/the-kernel-that-oopsed \
   -k /var/log/closesttimebeforetheoops.ksyms \
   -l /var/log/closesttimebeforetheoops.modules \
   -m /boot/System.map-correspondingtothekernel \
   xfs.oops

 I have kernels called vmlinuz-2.4.6-pre3 with a System.map called
 System.map-2.4.6-pre3, so this would be:

 $ ksymoops -v /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.6-pre3 \
   -k /var/log/20010602135630.ksyms \
   -l /var/log/20010602135630.modules \
   -m /boot/System.map-2.4.6-pre3 \
   xfs.oops

 You probably want to run insmod_ksymoops_clean on a dayly cronjob,
 otherwise you'll collect a lot of logs in /var/log/ksymoops.

 HTH,
