Hello list, Following closely the instrunctions on the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook, I installed gentoo recently (info below) and just did the first reboot before finalizing the installation. All worked except for this message during boot
System.map not found - unable to check symbols. which doesn't seem to cause problems during/after booting (??). I did a manual kernel compilation and the handbook didn't say anything about copying System.map to /boot. On a second attempt to reboot I did copied System.map to /boot. My grub.conf follows below. In /boot I have System.map and System.map-2.6.15.1 files (System.map is a soft link). Thanks for any help. -- Valmor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- grub.conf # Boot automatically after 30 secs. timeout 30 # By default, boot the first entry. default 0 # Nice, fat splash-image to spice things up :) splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz # For booting GNU/Linux title Gentoo GNU/Linux [kernel-2.6.15.1.VFdA-1] 08May06 root (hd0,0) kernel /kernel-2.6.15.1-VFdA-1 root=/dev/hda3 Portage 2.0.54 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.15.1 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.15.1 i686 Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.60GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 dev-lang/python: 2.4.2 dev-python/pycrypto: [Not Present] dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/g entoo ftp://mirror.iawnet.sandia.gov/pub/gentoo/ http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ ft p://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ http://mirrors.acm.cs.rpi.edu/gentoo/ http://open-syst ems.ufl.edu/mirrors/gentoo http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/gentoo/ ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.g ov/pub/gentoo/ " MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cli crypt cups dri encode expat foomaticdb for tran gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imlib isdnlog jpeg libg++ libwww motif mpeg ncurses nls nptl opengl pam pcre pdflib perl png pppd python qt quicktime readline refl ection sdl session spl ssl tcpd truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev xml xmms xorg xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_E XTRA_OPTS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
