Jim Worthington scripsit: |1)Boot Message - I get the following message when booting: | | |Oct 8 17:10:10 hercules syslogd 1.3-0#6: restart. |Oct 8 17:10:11 hercules kernel: Cannot find map file. | |What is a map file?
Map of kernel symbols (= functions and external variables) |Where is it supposed to be? /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/System.map /System.map (any of the three, if more than one they'd better be the same...) |How do I get rid of the message? Under debian you should already have /System.map, a symlink to /boot/System.map-2.0.x (x = kernel minor, whatever that is in your case). |2) Where is the /boot/psdatabase file used? ps w which shows the "channels", i.e. the kernel function the code is in. |I manually installed a new kernel (no debian package) and need to know |if it was done correctly. After compiling the 2.0.13 pnp patched |kernel, I did the following: | |a) cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zimage /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.13-pnp | |b) cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/System.map-2.0.13-pnp | |c) I then re-linked /vmlinuz and /System.map to point to the newly added |files in /boot. I then ran lilo and rebooted. | |It's working, but there are some loose ends that I am concerned about. |I've had the "cannot find map file" message since day 1, so it's not |related to installing the new kernel. See the links above, you need the /System.map to be correctly linked too. |The /boot/psdatabase file is linked to /boot/psdatabase-2.0.0. I |couldn't find any corresponding files in the newly compiled kernel |directory structure. It would seem that I should have a |psdatabase-2.0.13-pnp as well. Just do rm /boot/psdatabase psupdate ln -s /boot/psdatabase-2.0.13-pnp /boot/psdatabase Ciao, Arrigo -- Arrigo Triulzi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ma.ic.ac.uk/~agbt Mathematics Dept.
