Did you save the OOPS output or the kernel panic output?

The discussion about dumping memory comes up once in a while on the linux-kernel list, you can probably find one of the threads in the archives. Linus Torvalds' stand on the issue is that he has so far been able to debug using just the OOPS messages, and that in general dumping memory would cause more trouble than it would do good.

Could you mail the OOPS and the output from ksymoops?
