Be prepared to look embarrassed...... The kcore file is merely a map of memory and doesn't exist. In fact, all of the 'files' in /proc don't really exist but are created by the kernel to hold information about the system (only while the system is up and running). So /proc/kcore is not your problem. Something else is. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
