Message-ID: <20031204175311.GF16568@rdlg.net> Mail-Followup-To: Linux-Kernel Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="HnQK338I3UIa/qiP" Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.4i Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org --HnQK338I3UIa/qiP Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline I'm messing around on one of my dev machines which has 4 possible kernels installed. 2.4, 2.4-stable, 2.6, 2.6-stable (stable is the last known good kernel). I currently have my System.map files laid out as: /boot/System.map-2.6.0-test11-bk2 /boot/System.map-2.6.0-test10-bk4 etc. Would it be possible, necessary, sane to have a lilo.conf similar to this: image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4 label=current map=System.map-2.4 read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.stable label=stable map=System.map-2.4.stable read-only optional image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6 label=2.6 map=System.map-2.6 read-only optional image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.stable label=2.6-stable map=System.map-2.6.stable read-only optional This way when I install a new kernel I can copy the System.map to /boot/System.map-2.6 instead of keeping up with all the version numbers? lilo doesn't seem to like the map= arguements. Does the kernel need the System.map in a single place, can it figure out where it's at for a multiple config?
