Yes the machine has 256MB, I have been assuming all along that the problem was with the aic7xxx scsi module, which is needed on this machine and for which I was pointed at http://www.redhat.com/~dledford/aic7xxx.html
That was why I was trying to build 2.2.10 into which I could add those patches to see if it helped.

I have pointed it at /proc/ksyms but I just get:
Options used: -V (default) -o /lib/modules/2.2.5-22/ (default) -k /proc/ksyms (default) -l /proc/modules (default) -m /boot/System.map (specified) -c 1 (default)
Warning in compare_ksyms_lsmod, module 3c59x is in lsmod but not in ksyms, probably no symbols exported Warning in compare_ksyms_lsmod, module nfs is in lsmod but not in ksyms, probably no symbols exported Warning in compare_ksyms_lsmod, module nfsd is in lsmod but not in ksyms, probably no symbols exported Warning: cannot match loaded module aic7xxx to any module object. Trace may not be reliable.
Suggestions on making ksymoops grok these symbols? In what other way should I be 'pointing' it??

Thanks. I am now running the 2.2.10 kernel with the aic7xxx patches in so I'll see how stable that appears to be.
Richard.
