 Dave,
 crash shows wrong dis-assembly for even live machine...
 Thanks,

   SYSTEM MAP: /usr/src/linux/System.map
 DEBUG KERNEL: /usr/src/linux/vmlinux (2.6.16-20-smp) 
Strange -- why is it even using /usr/src/linux/System.map?
You didn't enter it on the boot command line, and so I believe
the only way that it would possibly be set would be by the
find_booted_system_map() function -- which only would be
called by match_proc_version() when the vmlinux file doesn't
match the live system.
What happens when you do this:
  $ strings /usr/src/linux/vmlinux | grep "Linux ver"
  $ cat /proc/version
Are the outputs identical?
