The message comes from a kernel symbol checking routine in (as far as i remember) misc/symbol.c in the ps source tree. I _knew_ for sure my symbols were correct, so i changed the '#if 1 --- #endif' that encloses exactly that statements to '#if 0'. not quite a fix but, guess what, no Warning message anymore 8:) greetings. martin
Re: System.map does not match kernel data
Did you just upgrade your kernel? (I know 2.2.18pre21 or something just came out). I usually just make a symlink from /boot/System.map to /usr/src/linux/System.map. Then whenever I upgrade my kernel my System map stays consistent.

I have the same problem, except my kernel was installed with kernel-package so I already have /boot/System.map-2.2.12 setup. Symlinking it to /boot/System.map just means I get two messages. For me, this started happening after the recent LILO upgrade... anybody have any hints on tracing the cause of the message?

Jonas> I've compiled the kernel myself and the messages started to Jonas> appear after (I think) and upgrade to PAM. Jonas> (I have a foggy idea what this message means but don't know how Jonas> to "repair" it.) The System.map is generated when a kernel is compiled. It can be found in the /usr/src/linux-x.y.z assuming that the kernel sources are in that directory. This file contains debugging symbol information that can be useful if and when the kernel crashes. If you are compiling the kernel by hand, then you need to copy the System.map from that directory into /boot right after the kernel has been compiled. I am not sure but it might have to be named with the kernel version ie /boot/System.map-2.2.12. Some of the make targets such as bzlilo automatically do that and setup /etc/lilo.conf. Someone will correct me if I am wrong here since I have been using the Debian's excellent kernel-package tools to build kernels and haven't done it the "old-fashioned way". If you use the make-kpg script(s) to build the kernel in Debian, all this is taken care for you by the script(s). For more info on this, see : /usr/doc/kernel-package, and man make-kpkg.
