I was using 2.6.20.1 with the x86_64-mm-vmalloc-32.patch and you small
patch : working but not perftctly stable.
So I compiled 2.6.21-rc7-mm2 and at boot I got a problem :
ksymoops dmesg-2.6.21-rc7-mm2-4Gb.txt
ksymoops 2.4.11 on x86_64 2.6.21-rc7-mm2. Options used
-V (default)
-k /proc/ksyms (default)
-l /proc/modules (default)
-o /lib/modules/2.6.21-rc7-mm2/ (default)
-m /usr/src/linux/System.map (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
ksymoops: No such file or directory

No ksyms, skipping lsmod
