Strange problem with ps (System.map does not match kernel data)

[Dave Carrigan <dave@rudedog.org>]

I am running Debian/unstable, and the 2.4.4 kernel, patched with SGI xfs:

 $ uname -a
 Linux cbgb 2.4.4-xfs #1 Sun Jun 10 21:03:50 PDT 2001 i686 unknown

When I boot the system, everything is fine, but after a day or so,
whenever I run ps, I get the following error:

 $ ps -ef
 {shmem_file_setup} {__VERSIONED_SYMBOL(shmem_file_setup)}
 Warning: /boot/System.map-2.4.4-xfs does not match kernel data.
 UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
 root         1     0  0 Jul16 ?        00:00:05 init
 root         2     1  0 Jul16 ?        00:00:00 [keventd]
  ... snip ...

This does not happen immediately; right after I boot, ps does not give
me the error message, but something happens at a later time and starts
causing problems.

Has anyone else seen this?
