The symbol table is preserved by the early allocation code (see biosmem.c) and should normally never be touched. But I've just noticed that we don't request page-aligned modules from the boot loader (see MULTIBOOT_FLAGS in boothdr.S), and at some point, late during the boot process, module data are freed using (see free_bootstrap_pages in bootstrap.c). This might explain the corruptions. -- Richard Braun
