the following TWO non obvious files exist in my /boot folder. Can someone
shed a little light on them for me?
ONE:
kernel.h -> kernel.h-2.4.3
kernel.h-2.4.3
these were introduced at the 2.4.3 update it was not supplied on the distro's
cd at 2.4.2
The contents should be self explanatory, but, I can find no script that does
this, and I don't know what the contents would be subsequently used for
----------- xxxxx --------
* This file is automatically generated at boot time. */
#ifndef __BOOT_KERNEL_H_
#define __BOOT_KERNEL_H_
/* Kernel type i686 */
#ifndef __MODULE_KERNEL_i686
#define __MODULE_KERNEL_i686 1
#endif
#ifndef __BOOT_KERNEL_ENTERPRISE
#define __BOOT_KERNEL_ENTERPRISE 0
#endif
[snip]
---------- xxxxxxxx -------
TWO:
module-info -> module-info-2.4.3-12
module-info-2.4.3-12
----- brief content snip
# drivers/net directory
3c501
eth
"3Com 3c501"
io "Base I/O address" "0x[0-9a-fA-F]+"
irq "IRQ level" "[0-9]+"
3c503
------- xxxxxxxxxx ----
Finally, two kernel binaries exist
vmlinuX->
vmlinuZ->
vmlinuz is a modularised, non- multi processing kernel. ( I hate the word
SMP, too confusing). Both are approx the same size, and apart from booting
the damn thing, what would vmlinuX be?
