[opensuse-kernel] What is file /boot/vmlinux-XXX.gz?
I hit a glitch in os-prober which under some conditions takes files /boot/vmlinux-XXX.gz as kernels and generates menu entries for them. What are these files for? I wonder how I can reliably skip the without breaking some valid case. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org

Yeah, grub should skip those, at least for the physical hardware boot. I thought those were only supposed to be installed with kernel-$flavor-devel, but I must be mistaken. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.19 (Darwin) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJUN+hmAAoJEB57S2MheeWyz/gP/i1SASg111Imdl6vUDtP3bHZ iEUdGsE8KADf6a20yjEA3AP1VdUBmWo29xNrPX3K0dtS0E3OL4yBigK7j2X5GfHj HJup9Fih4z17fULWzkVG8Ze52wKrD6QiJ7kvxkwBtmyZzu+g+5hbm3ClgpmatEZC zcUS1TjpQucTT9xKsMQu/EGSpOyZ7yP5kLf5ECrYgQS7OaniNVqT+Hijen8380/Q Ci5FDP0csk8K+duRUjj/aTFZlhxhXqyEuHvpqgXLz3CFwUbVUNj1eamGA3z+3Jar bQI2Tt87PwZIRzo0eYwF6kBcq4NbgKjamz+9QPxEvTyJUWm5RaTzxOlFNFpglXKk WWd04DWV/BO+1RCK7o0aThxm2IKU5k0T9dlqmQAZi55vfHGhY3HLNGjNdgRBJvBp BMeGZjlJ98ApGb695KSkwqqi1dffMjNAK8STlrNw/dxsh+ErSoTECF/DDwgOR9Dd XRxFRhb6PBXGa9/Geua8KqOyc7bROukZ18iL1aOoCKl4FOKAhoYfzA+8Kry//JhK pa29yz4PwnBy2PnD7dRWaC27TzhNEBiw0RXnzDfNfqC8agxbLl4w68nXSSouj+CT Hbn+cujpGFg0Qf1On3C9aHszj5MMDHZ4larunM7s7uEP12ZquyZey2hbmjkdIbVX PxPmm2rrZ296TEzadLeA =H3mG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org

They used to be, but then the vmlinux debuginfo ended up in kernel-$flavor-devel-debuginfo, so I moved vmlinux.gz back. Michal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
