I've looked for material but haven't > found anything that deals specifically with interpreting debugger output. The handbook has a kernel debug session. If you get a panic, use that information. You need not actually interpret the output. That really requires lots of expertise, and knowledge of the code. We, developers, often post those outputs when we can't identify the bug ourselves, in the hope that other developers can. What we *do* need is that information. From there, someone might be able to ask for more specific information (which can be easily done if you have the dump saved).
