6 With older baselayout [1], the System.map file wasn't required :
7 [code]
8 if [ -f /usr/src/linux/System.map ]; then
9 depmod -a -F /usr/src/linux/System.map ${KV}
10 else
11 depmod -a ${KV}
12 fi
13 [/code]
14
15 One day, the code evolved to :
16 [code]
17 if [ -f /usr/src/linux/System.map ]; then
18 depmod -a -F /usr/src/linux/System.map ${KV}
19 else
20 ewarn "System.map not found - unable to check symbols"
21 fi
22 [/code]
23
24 So, developpers decided to search the System.map file in different
25 paths, but if your /boot and /usr directories are mounted on partitions,
26 you must copy the file in /, because modules-update is ran before
27 mounting partitions.
