[Kernel OOps]
First, read
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/oops-tracing.txt
Next, *which* ftape did you use? The one in the kernel is
written for linux 2.0, there were API-Changes in the Kernel
(that's the reason ftape 4.x will have the 'timeout' error.)
Try the newest, *unstable* ftape (no API problems), read the
docu (quite some things changed), recompile the kernel *without*
ftape support and compile the ftape-unstable to get the modules.
