Booting the putative 2.6.27-rc5-mm1 lineup on the g5 I see: io scheduler cfq registered proc_dir_entry '00' already registered Call Trace: [c00000017a0fbae0] [c000000000012540] unrecov_restore+0x98d8/0x1220c (unreliable) [c00000017a0fbb90] [c000000000149798] dst_error+0x117d3c/0x42ba04 [c00000017a0fbc40] [c000000000149c14] dst_error+0x1181b8/0x42ba04 [c00000017a0fbcc0] [c0000000001f9260] dst_error+0x1c7804/0x42ba04 [c00000017a0fbd60] [c0000000005ccc8c] _sinittext+0x25c8c/0x371d4 [c00000017a0fbde0] [c000000000009230] unrecov_restore+0x5c8/0x1220c [c00000017a0fbee0] [c0000000005a7d90] _sinittext+0xd90/0x371d4 [c00000017a0fbf90] [c000000000026db4] fpdisable+0xa6f4/0xa884 nvidiafb: Device ID: 10de0141 nvidiafb: CRTC0 analog not found nvidiafb: CRTC1 analog found
from which I conclude a) someone broke powerpc's kallsyms processing and b) someone screwed up their procfs handling. The output of `nm -n vmlinux' is at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/nm-n.txt. You'll see that c000000000012540 is actually somewhere inside proc_register().
