System.map is looked for like so: /boot/System.map-`uname -r` so make sure you have matching System.map files and NO stupid symlinks. > What other files need to be there on a per kernel basis? /lib/modules/`uname -r` needs to the match the kernel in question. in short i think sharing /boot across distributions is a bad idea, too many distributions are too broken in fscking things up in /boot for it to work very well. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
