Hmm, it doesn't even seem to *try* to dump...  are you sure you have
configured a dump device?

This is the address of the instruction which caused the fault.  You
can run nm(1) on your kernel to find out where in the kernel that is,
e.g.:

# nm /kernel | grep \^c0174 | sort

this should give you a list of maybe a dozen symbols; the one you want
is the last one in the list that has a lower address than c0174830.

How do you build your kernels - 'make buildkernel' or manually?
