The System.map is a link should be linked to a System.map-2.x.xx-extra-version-string in the /boot directory. I have no idea if thats handled automaticly by those who actually use the 'make install' of the Makefile or not. I personally haven't used that in several years as my own script also takes care of all the housekeeping without putzing with my grub.conf, which I do by hand. However, if I back up 1-15 kernel versions and boot that, this link seems to be self updating and is not a problem when I scroll back up the list grub gives me and decide to use an older kernel. >I didn't do anything with that -- yet everything seems ok. is that > right?

I *think* its automatic these days, go take a look with an "ls -l /boot". -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
