I seem to recall that you could have a file called simply System.map and that you had to do something special if you had two versions of the same kernel release.

In /boot I have a System.map for each kernel there; i.e. a vmlinuz-2.4.6 and a System.map-2.4.6. I read somewhere that the same 'extra' designation on vmlinuz and System.map should be the same.

Yes, correct. But the System.map file is only necessary when decoding kernel OOPS's, so if you know you're never going to do that, don't bother. -- Mads Martin Jørgensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort." -- A.
