kernel oops with kernel-smp-2.4.20-20.9 (Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000)

[Frederic Trudeau]

Greetings all.

Im getting the error message "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer
dereference at virtual address 00000000" when trying to load (ifup eth1)
eth1 with kernel-smp-2.4.20-20.9. It works fine with non-smp package from
RH.

Now im not sure if im using the ksymoops tool correctly, as im getting error
using it ...
but heres the output anyway :

[root@localhost oops]# ksymoops -v /boot/vmlinux-2.4.20-20.9smp -k
