I've got only one, it's perfectly reproducible with e.g. "fakeroot ls":

ksymoops 2.4.11 on alpha 2.6.19-rc4.  Options used
     -V (default)
     -k /proc/ksyms (default)
     -l /proc/modules (default)
     -o /lib/modules/2.6.19-rc4/ (default)
     -m /src/linux-2.6.19-rc4/System.map (specified)

Error (regular_file): read_ksyms stat /proc/ksyms failed
No modules in ksyms, skipping objects
