I have seen that problem come up from time to time... Simply, you pull the file, /usr/src/linux/System.map and place that in /boot and name is something like /boot/System.map.2.1.132 (or some other logical convention that works for you. This is assuming that you are somewhat like me, and have multiple boot kernels. If not, then copy System.map as /boot/map, run lilo and you should be good to go. As a standard practice, the current boot kernel's system map is automatically put into /boot after you finish with the compilation. If you are running multiple boot kernels, then there is a simple way of handling that. Like I mentioned above, name your System.map file into something logical and place it in /boot. Add to your lilo.conf a map option for each kernel that you are supporting, ie: image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/sda1 label = linux map = /boot/System.map-2.1.132 # image = /boot/vmlinuz.old root = /dev/sda1 label = linux-stable map = /boot/System.map-2.0.35 # image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36 root = /dev/sda1 label = linux-2.0.36 map = /boot/System.map-2.0.36 Run lilo and you will be good to go! Hope this answered your question... - --- Kim C.
