I did as you suggested, but unfortuneately I have recompiled a 2.4.0
test9
kernel since then. This is all I found in the
/usr/src/linux/scripts/ksymoops
directory: README which stated:

------------------------------------------------------------
ksymoops has been removed from the kernel.  It was always meant to be a
free standing utility, not linked to any particular kernel version.
The latest version can be found in
ftp://ftp.<country>.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/ksymoops together
with patches to other utilities in order to give more accurate Oops
debugging.

Now I did download the file ksymoops-2.3.4.tar.gz but ran into problems
with the compile. Apparently the kernel requires kgcc to compile the
source
but in trying to accomplish this "outside" the kernel... yielded no
fruitful
results. Where upon I have decided to bag the compile and leave it to
those
who know MORE than I. Although it would be interesting to try this on
the
2.4.0 kernel at some point.

Much thanks.
Frank
