I do not know if this is enough, of if you also need to do similar things with the system.map etc. Just give it a try.
You don't need to do it for the System.map. The method you described should work.
Andi, thanks a lot for this reassurance! The system.map or better when to modify it and when not is still a little of a mystery to me. Am I safe if I always copy the System.map of the latest kernel I use in /boot, and it will work fine with older kernels as well? Meaning new kernels add new stuff to System.map, but usually the old stuff of older kernels stays there as well? And is renaming it as I rename the kernels (such as kernel2.6.8.1 -> System2.6.8.1.map) just nonsens, because the kernel always looks for a file named System.map only? Regards, Matt
