When you install your kernel (which normally means copying bzImage to the /boot dir) you have to copy the System.map file (from the top dir of the kernel source) along with it, although this file is really only needed when you get oopses, so the kernel is able to tell in what function it occurs.

I am about compile the latest stable kernel to see if it goes away. Same goes for me. It appears to have started with the 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 kernel release and I suspect (correct me if I'm wrong) a udev update which happened around the same time IIRC. The System.map file is there. I have just updated to the new 2.6.15-gentoo-r2 kernel and the error message is still there. Rob signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

On my keyboard the normal Delete key produces keycode 111, and the Del key on the numeric pad produces keycode 53. Are you using the numeric Del as your normal delete key? Then NumLock should be off, otherwise it'll produce a decimal point. Any ideas how to fix this? new map?
