When the kernel detect a problem, a dump of the current state (register 
values, stack, ...) is generated and (with luck) written to a log file 
(depending on your distribution). Sometimes its only printed on the 
console..too bad if the screen safer was active  by that time.
There is a patch available that write the state information to a floppy, 
but I haven't tried it.

In any case, you have to pipe the state information into ksymoops and 
send the output to the list.
