Ksymoops was run as follows: ksymoops -k /var/log/ksymoops/20040618073816.ksyms \ -l /var/log/ksymoops/20040618073816.modules \ -o /lib/modules/2.4.26-686-smp-lvm-vfslock/ \ -m /boot/System.map-2.4.26-686-smp-lvm-vfslock \ -i ~/oops Which gave: ---8<--- ksymoops 2.4.5 on i686 2.4.26-686-smp-lvm-vfslock.

Results may not be reliable. ---8<--- Without the "-i" flag to ksymoops there were 6 warnings with it only 2 warnings so I have posted the "-i" version here. The output was the same between the two runs except for the warnings. Does the fact that there are warnings make my ksymoops worthless? I don't understand why there are warnings... is it because some modules are loaded from an initrd? - they should be identical to the modules under /lib/modules/`uname -r` though! Am I right in thinking that this ksymoops indicates a problem in the ide-cd module? ... If so sorry for wasting your time on the linux-lvm list. If not any ideas what it means?
