Have you tried using the "-r" option to pass the correct kernel
release? E.g. "stap -p4 -e '...' -r 2.6.18-omap1". Otherwise it will
get the host kernel version.

Also make sure you have the necessary symlinks inside Scratchbox:

/boot/vmlinux-<release> -> /path/to/kernel_sources/vmlinux
/lib/modules/<release>/build -> /path/to/kernel_sources
/lib/modules/<release>/source -> /path/to/kernel_sources

Finally, make sure you created a /lib/modules/<release>/kernel
directory. It can even be empty, but stap may complain with a "missing
debug info" error if it's not there.
