+Quick Summary
+-------------
+
+cd /usr/src/linux/scripts
+g++ -o ksymoops ksymoops.cc
+./ksymoops ../System.map < the_oops.txt
+
+and send the output the maintainer of the kernel area that seems to be
+involved with the problem. Don't worry too much about getting the wrong
+person. If you are unsure send it to the person responsible for the code
+relevant to what you were doing. If it occurs repeatably try and describe
+how to recreate it. Thats worth even more than the oops
+
+If you are totally stumped as to whom to send the report, send it to
+linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu. Thanks for your help in making Linux as
+stable as humanly possible.
