Look at the top of dmesg if you don't have it installed. It contains the symbol map for the kernel which would help in debugging. It first tries to load /boot/System.map-$version, then falls back to /boot/System.map. But it certainly continues on if neither exist. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
