I've got another one yesterday:


ksymoops 2.4.8 on i686 2.6.0-test3.  Options used
     -V (default)
     -k /proc/ksyms (default)
     -l /proc/modules (default)
     -o /lib/modules/2.6.0-test3/ (default)
     -m /boot/System.map-2.6.0-test3 (default)

Warning: 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.

Error (regular_file): read_ksyms stat /proc/ksyms failed

And you'll continue to get them until someone does something about it. 
Discussion seemed to die off on this problem.

Until it is sorted, something like this is needed.

Andrew, if you put this patch in -mm please add a nice big comment above it,
and put it in the "must fix before 2.6.0" list.
