Hi,

The problem is probably, your bootloader doesn't load the kernel symbol table,
as it is not an ELF loadable section.
You can try to boot "kernel.tramp", instead of the regular "kernel". it is
a tiny ELF trampoline, which will handles the kernel relocation, and put
the symbol table somwhere where the kernel will find it.

Regards,

Olivier
