kernel oops

["Suporte RedeBonja" <suporte@cbj.g12.br>]

Hi,
we are having problems with the kernel (oops). My box is a mail server only
and the problem occurs a thousand times a day . I realize a wierd message on
the boot process: /lib/modules/2.2.16/net/bsd_comp.o _> unresolved symbols,
the same message for: /lib/modules/2.2.16/misc/zft_compressor.o,
 /lib/modules/2.2.16/misc/rio.o,
/lib/modules/2.2.16/misc/dss1_divert.o.

here is my configuration:

Red Hat 6.1 (Cartman)
kernel : 2.2.16

Ksymoops output:
*****************************************
WARNING: This version of ksymoops is obsolete.
WARNING: The current version can be obtained from
ftp://ftp.ocs.com.au/pub/ksymoops
Options used: -V (default)
-o /lib/modules/2.2.16/ (default)
-k /proc/ksyms (default)
-l /proc/modules (default)
-m /usr/src/linux/System.map (default)
-c 1 (default)

You did not tell me where to find symbol information. I will assume
that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running right now
and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc. ksymoops -h explains the options.

No modules in ksyms, skipping objects
