Okay, thanks. With the newest ksymoops these warnings are gone.

I grabbed the newest but these warnings persisted:
Warning (compare_ksyms_lsmod): module es1370 is in lsmod but not in ksyms, probably no symbols exported Warning (compare_ksyms_lsmod): module i2c-piix4 is in lsmod but not in ksyms, probably no symbols exported Warning (compare_ksyms_lsmod): module reiserfs is in lsmod but not in ksyms, probably no symbols exported Warning (compare_ksyms_lsmod): module smbfs is in lsmod but not in ksyms, probably no symbols exported Warning (compare_ksyms_lsmod): module w83781d is in lsmod but not in ksyms, probably no symbols exported
Doesn't that mean that lsmod lists those (as it certainly does), but there are no symbols present for them in /proc/ksyms? Browsing the ksymoops docs, I gather that modules that do not export any symbols are not listed at all by ksymoops. In /proc/ksyms there where no lines for the above modules, as there were for others.
Anyway, I'm making this wild assumption that while es1370 and smbfs are the most interesting modules (and not in the ksymoops listing) it is not likely that the address C5D28000 would be in one of their symbols. Or is it just coinsidence that all the symbols of the kernel modules start with c8a (from c8a5b04c to c8a909a4)?
