ksymoops defaults to using /proc entries from the current system. This
is fine for most people but you have to override the default when
decoding an oops from another kernel.
ksymoops -KL -m /boot/System.map-2.4.0-ac5
ignores the running ksyms and lsmod files, removing your warnings.

This is why my original NMI for UP code in kdb uses wrmsr_eio() instead
of wrmsr. wrmsr_eio() catches errors where the APIC does not support
the msr and returns EIO instead of oopsing and taking the kernel with
it. I could never persuade Ingo to use wrmsr_eio() and check the
return code, maybe this will change his mind. Extract from kdb v1.7.
