Re: boot-time kernel selection and /System.map mismatch

[Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@datasync.com>]

Hi,

	What exactly does use /vmlinuz? The only thing I know is lilo;
 if you are booting up, the /vmlinuz has already served its purpose.

	As to System.map, ps already looks at these files: 
===========================================================================
      WCHAN
            Name (if a valid kernel symbol table can be found) or
            address  of  the  kernel  wait channel the process is
            sleeping in.  For the  kernel  symbol  table  libproc
            scans the following files:
                        $PS_SYSTEM_MAP
****===>                /boot/System.map-`uname -r`
                        /boot/System.map
                        /lib/modules/`uname -r`/System.map
                        /etc/psdatabase
                        /boot/psdatabase-`uname -r`
                        /boot/psdatabase,
                        /lib/modules/`uname -r`/psdatabase
=============================================================================

	I see it as a defect in klogd that it does not do the same. (I
 think I'll file a feature request). If it did, there would be no
 problems with selection of kernels in lilo.

	Can you point out a solution to this *not* using
 kernel-package? or was this a feature request?

	manoj
