interpreting kernel panic logs on Intel



Apple have a nice Technical Note here:

http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2063.html

which teaches one how to interpret the backtraces from kernel panic logs on
PowerPC, but no such document for Intel.

I have a panic log from an intel machine. I've made symbol files for the
"Kernel loadable modules in backtrace", but the backtrace is in the format:

Format - Frame : Return Address (4 potential args on stack)

e.g.

0x485ebc08 : 0x128d1f (0x3c9540 0x485ebc2c 0x131df4 0x0)

what do I plug into gdb to get the symbol name at that address? Everything
I've tried so far has resulted in this type of message:

(gdb) x/i 0x485ebc08
0x485ebc08:     Cannot access memory at address 0x485ebc08
(gdb) x/i 0x128d1f
0x128d1f:       Cannot access memory at address 0x128d1f

googling hasn't helped, so far - perhaps Intel Macs never panic?

tia, Stuart
