I suppose this will be useless (tainted ;))
BTW, what does mean the symbol address mismatch ?

ksymoops 2.4.8 on i686 2.4.20-jam1.  Options used
     -V (default)
     -k /proc/ksyms (default)
     -l /proc/modules (default)
     -o /lib/modules/2.4.20-jam1/ (default)
     -m /boot/System.map-2.4.20-jam1 (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.

Warning (compare_maps): mismatch on symbol __nvsym03120  , nvdriver says 692dac20, /lib/modules/2.4.20-jam1/video/nvdriver.o says 692d3560.  Ignoring /lib/modules/2.4.20-jam1/video/nvdriver.o entry
