Unless it has changed recently, the system I just installed last month |
| 12 |
actually looks for it in /usr/src/linux, not /boot. It still complains |
| 13 |
during boot even though I actually have one there, presumably it is looking |
| 14 |
before filesystems are mounted. |

I considered opening a bug, but it wasn't that important and I never really |
| 17 |
got around to it. |

A kludgy temporary fix would be: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
# mount -o bind /dev/<rootdev> /mnt |
| 22 |
# mkdir -p /mnt/usr/src/linux |
| 23 |
# cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /mnt/usr/src/linux |
| 24 |
# umount /mnt |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
8-/... |
