two ways: 1. if you're compiling the image by yourself, besides getting bzImage, you shall see vmlinux in the main directory of extracted source tree. that is what you need (symbol file). It's better if it's compiled using frame pointer enabled and CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y 2. if you use stock kernel from your distro, most likely you need the kernel package that provides debug info. fedora has it, and I think so does Ubuntu, Debian, Mandriva...etc. Check your package manager documentation on how to enable the related repository -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to [email protected] Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
