I tried it. There is already a vmlinux and a System.map in the 
unzipped directory. I tried using them as a quick test, but the 
result was quite awful - not even the dancing line problems; rather 
the screen looked like a piece of film in a projector that got stuck 
by the lamp: a slow melting look that eventually covered the screen - 
reboot was the only solution. Do I instead need to rebuild the kernel 
fresh using the source you provide?
