Configure kernel with frame pointers and then try to insert the module manually using insmod. If possible you can either use kdb/kgdb or xen to load the module in an environment where you might have some debugging capabilities. I have used all of the three and in my opinion, kdb is the simplest.
Ani From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mrunal Gawade Sent: Monday, May 05, 2008 10:52 PM To: Kernel Newbies Subject: kernel panic Hi, I am facing a strange scenario. My kernel module contains bugs and every time I am inserting it my system hangs. I was hoping to get a stack trace on screen in single user mode, but it is not providing one. Contents are not written to /var/log/messages also as I think flushing of the data to disk is not happening. Is this problem a common one? Do I need to compile my kernel to provide a stack trace on console or is it configured by default? I am using a Open SUSE 10.1 kernel 2.6.18. Your quick help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Mrunal
