Thanks, lars.

This afternoon, I tried ksymoops to decode the oops and got the output 
below. (unfortunately I don't know where the /proc/ksym is so it may not 
be so useful) Hopefully it is useful to some experts.

ksymoops 2.4.9 on i686 2.6.0-0.test7.1.51.  Options used
     -V (default)
     -k /proc/kallsyms (specified)
     -l /proc/modules (default)
     -o /lib/modules/2.6.0-0.test7.1.51/ (default)
     -m /boot/System.map (specified)

Warning (read_ksyms): no kernel symbols in ksyms, is /proc/kallsyms a 
valid ksyms file?
No modules in ksyms, skipping objects
No ksyms, skipping lsmod
 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 49656e69
