Ehh, I just realize that mkinitrd also uses get_kernel_version and does not find the System.map because of this:
treptau:/boot/:[0]# mkinitrd -k /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35 -i /boot/initrd-2.6.35
Kernel version: 2.6.35+ Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35 Initrd image: /boot/initrd-2.6.35 SYSTEM MAP 1 : /boot/System.map-2.6.35+ Could not find map /boot/System.map, please specify a correct file with -M.
This is however a setup bug, the kernel release string is 2.6.35+, so the files should be named as such. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

untested patch Now it's a tested one... -> works.
I already submitted the patch to Base:System/aaa_base. I added it as a separate patch, but could not find a mainline project. If this is SUSE only, Ruediger might want to consider integrating the patch into the source file or send things upstream if there should be a mainline project. -> fixed. Hmm, it's a bit unfortunate that mkinitrd does not work as expected when working on a git tree for 11.3, 11.2, ..., but it's probably not worth adding this there as a maintenance update? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
