A lot of the kernel bugs are pretty mundane. Traces are nice. At least you have some pointer where to start with. 1) You can google for the functions in the trace (to see if someone had a similar issue and it's solved already). You can add site:lkml.org to narrow it down to the linux kernel mailing list. 2) You can go to http://lxr.free-electrons.com/ http://lxr.free-electrons.com/ and search for the functions in the trace and look around the code to see what the issue might be. The trace will have some more info about the kind of the issue (WARN, NULL pointer dereference, etc.) And from there your options branch a lot... :)
