Hi All!

Since a while I am getting this kind of messages in the syslog, each time
the kernel is rebooted:

Sep 16 21:59:09 ukyou kernel: Loaded 4057 symbols from /System.map.
Sep 16 21:59:09 ukyou kernel: Symbols match kernel version 2.1.55.
Sep 16 21:59:09 ukyou kernel: Error seeking in /dev/kmem
Sep 16 21:59:09 ukyou kernel: Error adding kernel module table entry.

This is the directory entry for /dev/kmem:

crw-rw---- 1 root kmem 1, 2 May 27 21:49 /dev/kmem

I am using a Debian 1.3 system upgraded to libc6, in a 486 DX2/66 with 8
Mb of RAM. I don't remember seeing it mentioned anywhere...
Anyway, it seems harmless as the computer runs (altough one of the
cron.daily scripts hangs the userspace programs, not the kernel; but I
haven't done much investigation about this).

Bye & Good Luck!
