The docs tell me to run "nm vmlinux" to find the address, but I didn't get this to work on my "bzImage", so instead I looked in System.map, which indicates the problem is in dmi_table(): c0249090 t winchip_mcheck_init c02490cc T mcheck_init c0249110 t mcheck_disable c0249120 t dmi_string c0249160 t dmi_table c0249210 T dmi_iterate c02492f0 t dmi_save_ident c024936c t disable_ide_dma The "Call Trace: [][]" seems to indicate init() and kernel_thread(), respectively, which I geuss is not very helpful. dmi_table() is in arch/i386/kernel/dmi_scan.c which was not present in my old 2.2.16 kernel. The file doesn't have any comments indicating who wrote it. Hope you can use this for something. Will you be helped if I enable dmi_printk() and try this again? This happened on a Toshiba Portege 7020CT with a Pentium II processor.
