map file (newbie)
Hi! I'm trying to clean up my understanding of the kernel compiling process. (for reference, still running Caldera and LILO) I'm trying to understand the purpose of the map file. I have a file System.map in my kernel source directory that I think is created/updated when I compile my kernel. I assume that it is supposed to go in /boot. And O'Reilly Running Linux says that lilo should include a line map = /boot/map but I don't have this line. So what gives? a) What is creating the file ~/kernel-build-directory/System.map? b) Is it called when I boot if LILO is not told where it is? c) Do I need it?

It's not the compilation that will get you, but the little things that you will forget to include or include as modules. In that respect, 2.6 is a nightmare. It's getting to the point that not just anyone can compile their own kernel and expect it to work. The config script needs simplification. At least they got rid of the make mrproper and make deps stuff. IMO, that's a very positive step. If you screw something up, change the config and remake, it's very quick.

Re: compile kernel in KDE?
Quoth Tony Alfrey: Hi! Another kernel compile question. It seems that one may compile a kernel while still running KDE or some other desktop as long as one gets out of the desktop and back to a terminal before doing make modules_install and moving the new kernel image to /boot since the old kernel is still loaded and running until rebooting. Any remarks as to this being a Bad Thing? Of course you can do this. The loaded modules are still loaded, so copying over their disk images is not a problem. I did this once a few years ago - built a new kernel and modules, installed both, and then left the original kernel running another 40-odd days. Being drunk at the time, I forgot about building a new kernel. Imagine my surprise when my box booted to a new kernel of which I had no recollection. ;-) Kurt -- These days the necessities of life cost you about three times what they used to, and half the time they aren't even fit to drink. ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
