Thanks for the response. Did some reading on mcore at
missioncriticallinux.com. I checked the kernel
documentation section and because of the dynamic
nature of modules they can be a real pain to debug.
Very much so if lacking exported symbols, the docs
pertaining to module debugging did not mention core
files that I can remember. Are using gdb with the core
file (or another code utility) efficient in this case?
It appears to be the logical next step if the oops
does not shed light on the problem and you are lacking
module source to insert exports and soforth.
