Follow-up: Crash dump in genvmunix after system upgrade

See my previous post for details. This morning, I tried the kernel debugger
on the crash dump (kdbx & dbx -k) and I could not find anything:

Both dbx and kdbx told me that the SYMBOLS were not included in the dump. I
presume that I stripped my genvmunix at some time with the strip command.
My genvmunix was only about 7Mb in size, but the file command tells me that
is is not stripped.

Anyway, I rebuilt the genvmunix with doconfig -c GENERIC and it gave me a
big vmunix about 12Mb in size. Do you think this genvmunix ias as SAFE as
the one dec provided to us in the fisrt place ?
 
I'll try to boot this one as soon as I have some downtime and see if it
crashes and if I can get anything useful from the dump.

If you have any comments, ideas, feel free to email me.

Thanks.
