I checked, CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL is not set in SL, while it is CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y in FC8. In order to prove this theory, I selected another symbol inet_autobind. This symbol is also static. But it shows up in both SL and FC8 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
