It looks like either the debug information for the module isn't
installed or systemtap can't find it.

Just FYI John, you can tell if your module has the requisite DWARF debugging symbols by executing "objdump -W module.ko". If it does you will see a lot of information. A lot of distro's release their kernel module debugging symbols as a seperate package (ie what David says about FC6), in which case the DWARF symbols are in a different file (try /usr/lib/debug/lib/... in case of FC anyways).

however if you have the debugging info in neither place then you will
need to get it somehow to probe that module.
