Hi folks, as written earlier, I have several problems at boot time. This is the output of 'dmesg | ksymoops': ksymoops 2.3.4 on i586 2.4.0-test8. Options used -V (default) -k /proc/ksyms (default) -l /proc/modules (default) -o /lib/modules/2.4.0-test8/ (default) -m /boot/System.map-2.4.0-test8 (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_system_map stat /boot/System.map-2.4.0-test8 failed ds: no socket drivers loaded!
