* The trap data when it panics, primarily the instruction pointer and
fault address.
* The output from a 'trace' command from the debugger prompt. This
will generate a significant amount of information.
trace
* Pick out the loader line for that module from the kernel boot
(its a line saying 'Preloaded elf module "BLAH" at <address>' for the
module in question), that will help. We need the address.
* Also run the size command on the module:
size /modules/if_ipw.ko
That early in the boot there's probably no way to get a kernel core
dump.
