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
