This is curious because the compilation was done from a completely fresh
2.2.19 tree (ie: not patched, no old .configs used). In any case, I have
just carried out the following as per the URL above:
mv .config ..
make mrproper
mv ../.config .
make oldconfig
make dep clean bzImage modules
# install, boot

After going through these steps and rebooting, ksymoops still complains
about the missing symbol, and checking System.map confirms that
module_list_R__ver_module_list is indeed not present:
auster:~>ksymoops
ksymoops 2.4.1 on i686 2.2.19. Options used
-V (default)
-k /proc/ksyms (default)
-l /proc/modules (default)
-o /lib/modules/2.2.19/ (default)
-m /usr/src/linux/System.map (default)
:
Warning (compare_maps): ksyms_base symbol module_list_R__ver_module_list not
found in System.map. Ignoring ksyms_base entry

/usr/src/linux is a symlink to the 2.2.19 tree.

The mystery of this ksymoops message remains.

Thanks and regards
