It doesn't appear to be 3c59x (thankfully...) Something has gone wrong
with your address-to-symbol converter.

I hope you haven't recompiled your kernel since you recorded these
addresses.

The interesting addresses are:

EIP: c0138724
Stack:c0138ba2 c012d1e7

I suggest you do the following:

cd /usr/src/linux
gdb vmlinux
(gdb) x/10i 0xc0138724
(gdb) x/10i 0xc0138ba2
(gdb) x/10i 0xc012d1e7

and post the results. That'll tell us where things are coming unstuck.

Do the strings 'yst\' and 'Vlin' mean anything to you? That could be a
hint...
