Please attach your complete kernel.config

Also, try to get the translated calls (this can be done also by manually looking at the System.map and grabbing the calls by ther addresses with gdb) using ksymoops, so, it will process the event output and translate them automatically.

After doing that, and having your .config, we will be able to trace the error and quite possibly locate the fault.

Cheers and thanks in advance,
Lorenzo.
