21 You could either try a more recent kernel, the current stable kernel
22 upstream being 4.9.8. Chances are this oops may have been fixed there.
23
24 Otherwise, you could report this oops to the Gentoo kernel devs with
25 more info on where the oops happened supplied. See the
26 oops-tracing.txt doc available here,
27 https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/plain/Documentation/oops-tracing.txt?id=refs/tags/v4.9.8,
28 for details on how to do this.

30 Hope this helps.
