+In addition, you can use GDB to figure out the exact file and line
+number of the OOPS from the vmlinux file. If you have
+CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO enabled, you can simply copy the EIP value from the
+OOPS:
+
+ EIP:    0060:[<c021e50e>]    Not tainted VLI
+
+And use GDB to translate that to human-readable form:
+
+  gdb vmlinux
+  (gdb) l *0xc021e50e
+
+If you don't have CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO enabled, you use the function
+offset from the OOPS:
+
+ EIP is at vt_ioctl+0xda8/0x1482
+
+And recompile the kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO enabled:
+
+  make vmlinux
+  gdb vmlinux
+  (gdb) p vt_ioctl
+  (gdb) l *(0x<address of vt_ioctl> + 0xda8)

 Another very useful option of the Kernel Hacking section in menuconfig is
 Debug memory allocations. This will help you see whether data has been
 initialised and not set before use etc. To see the values that get assigned
