Yes, you are right. For e.g. Redhat 9 which uses the kernel 2.4 has removed the EXPORT_SYMBOL(sys_call_table) Moreover few of the guys saying that you add the EXPORT_SYMBOL(sys_call_table) in your kernel and it will be available to your modules, but solution built on such thing will not be portable to other linux machines, which will be using the kernels in which this symbols is not exported. For potable solution one need to find some way to get the pointer of sys_call_table in their own modules rather changing the core kernel and exporting this symbol in core kernel. There are workarounds available for it ......

Are you using a distro kernel? Some of them (including redhat IIRC) removed the EXPORT_SYMBOL(sys_call_table) line even in the 2.4 series.
