(except for having lilo .b files) when i boot i see this in the logs right before the dmesg: Dec 11 05:13:44 socrates kernel: klogd 1.3-3#33.1, log source = /proc/kmsg started. Dec 11 05:13:44 socrates kernel: Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.2.18 Dec 11 05:13:44 socrates kernel: Loaded 9084 symbols from /boot/System.map-2.2.18. Dec 11 05:13:44 socrates kernel: Symbols match kernel version 2.2.18. Dec 11 05:13:44 socrates kernel: No module symbols loaded. looks like it finds it ok. i get no complaints from any other software. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
