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.
