I am trying to decode an Oops per the instructions in
Documentation/oops-tracing.txt. The instructions say to run it through
ksymoops with the "-k /proc/ksyms" argument.
But, I do not have this file! The closest thing I have
is /proc/kallsyms. ksymoops complains that it does not understand the
syntax of this file.
What am I doing wrong?

If you have CONFIG_KALLSYMS enabled, you don't need ksymoops
as the backtrace gets decoded to symbol names for you.
The only use for ksymoops in a 2.6 kernel is probably the
disassembly of the Code: line.
