I was wondering if someone knew how to avoid system.map mismatch errors
when building 2 or more kernels from the same version.
Could someone look at my inserted the lilo.conf and file names and tell me if
I have some type of formatting error ?
The kernel documention recommends that SMP users compile
2 kernels. The documentation recommends that one contains SMP support
while the other should be in-case SMP does not work with the hardware.
Reference from $my-kernel/Documentation/smp.txt:
If you are using LILO, it is handy to have both SMP and non-SMP
kernel images on hand. Edit /etc/lilo.conf to create an entry
for another kernel image called "linux-smp" or something.
Like the SMP recommendation, when I compile new stuff in I build a kernel
without the extra modules, just in-case. For example, I have an xfs-kernel and
a non xfs
kernel.
The last time I built 2 kernels of the same version I got system map mismatch
errors
after running system commands like ps.
Is there something wrong with the file format I am using for my kernel ?
My /etc/lilo.conf looks like this:
lba32
boot=/dev/sda1
root=/dev/sda5
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
timeout=100
delay=100
prompt
vga=normal
default=Linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-xfs2
label=Linux
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19
label=failsafe
read-only
My files boot partition looks for this 2.4.19 kernel looks like this:
/boot/vmlinux-2.4.19
/boot/System.map-2.4.19
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-xfs
/boot/System.map-2.4.19-xfs
