Been looking a bit deeper into this again:

Put some debugging into __find_symbol() and came up w/ this:

lookup_symbol: scsi_print_sense_hdr 0xc0385590 0xc038a514

Where it goes through that range in kernel_symbol increments.

The last one it checks before crashing is: 0xc0387a10

>From Symbol.map:
c0385590 R __start___ksymtab
c038a514 R __stop___ksymtab

That looks right. Now looking up 0xc0387a10, there's no symbol there.

c03879e8 r __ksymtab_find_next_bit
c03879f0 r __ksymtab_find_next_zero_bit
c03879f8 R __write_lock_failed
c0387a18 R __read_lock_failed
c0387a2c r __ksymtab___delay
c0387a34 r __ksymtab___const_udelay
c0387a3c r __ksymtab___udelay
c0387a44 r __ksymtab___ndelay

That __read/__write_lock_failed bit looks wrong.

That's as far as I've gotten so far, but will email with more as I find
it.

thanks
