The kernel should be able to find System.map whether it is named |
| 10 |
System.map or System.map-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 or whatever your kernel is. |
| 11 |
Each kernel usually has it's own different System.map so the latter |
| 12 |
naming scheme is preferred. |
| 13 |
I have tried both on different (but only) gentoo kernels and still they |
| 14 |
complain about not finding it. The kernel itself should not need the |
| 15 |
file as it should be aware of it's own symbols memory addresses, but |
| 16 |
some programs like ps do need it. |
| 17 |
So these are the questions to people wiser than me: |
| 18 |
1. Is this a vanilla or gentoo kernel specific issue? |
| 19 |
2. Does the kernel itself actually need the file? |
| 20 |
3. Are programs like ps able to find the file themselves as they seem to |
| 21 |
work? |
