This info is helpful. I tend to do mine by hand, I may only upgrade my |
| 27 |
kernel once, maybe twice, a year. I don't reboot very often so there is |
| 28 |
no point in upgrading every time a new one comes out. After reading |
| 29 |
this, I've copied over the proper system.map files and versioned them to |
| 30 |
match the kernel names. I'll run grub-mkconfig just in case shortly. |
| 31 |
I've always had *A* file there but never copied newer versions over |
| 32 |
before. Honestly, I didn't know if it was needed or not. It has a lot |
| 33 |
of info in it tho so I figured it wise to ask. |

Thanks to all for the info. Now I have a better understanding of what I |
| 36 |
need to do and how. |
