Well I had the same problem some time before. I'm using ~x86 tree and after a update it was solved. I don't remember which package was causing the problem. But I'm sure it's some init script. It's not a kernel problem. I now have no problems. But here's my logic as to why this warning shows up. According to /etc/fstab, /boot partition does not get auto mounted during boot up, so the init script can't find /boot/System.map (/boot being the folder, an empty on in /) > which doesn't seem to cause problems during/after booting (??). Don't worry.. It wont cause no harm, except for the annoying warning.. > I did a manual kernel compilation and the handbook didn't say anything > about copying System.map to /boot.

To make the warning disappear, simply copy /usr/src/linux/System.map to /boot (don't mount the boot partition, i.e., make sure hda1 is *NOT* mounted).. This should hopefully make the warning disappear. > (snip) Hope this helps, Farhan Ahmed -- Place : Bangalore, Karnataka, India GPG Key : 8BE90E98 WengoPhone ID : farhanahmed IRC Nick : farhanahmed / farhanahmed06 (irc.freenode.net) Check Out : http://gentooisbest.blogspot.com
