Same kernel version this side and similar unresolved externals reported when doing a modprobe. Only if I recall, ours were related to PowerPath and was not external symbols inside oracleasm.o itself, though it seemed to trigger these error messages.

I ignored these - ASM is running fine. ASM instances are running fine. RAC instances is using the ASM volumes without any problems. Touch wood as it is still a very fresh config here. (just make sure you consider the multipath disk issues with ASM if applicable)

You can do an up2date to kernel version 2.4.21-30 (or is it -32?) and see if these errors still occur. Unfortunately we cannot (tried but it broke our Infiniband kernel drivers that does not yet support later kernel versions).
