RE: /boot/System.map-2.2.18pre21



Hi,
Sorry if this sounds dense but I have tried this and can't get it to work, I
get an error 'unrecognised file format'. I have typed both methods described
very carefully and all as one line, and I get the same error message.
In my  /boot directory, there is only the one file called
'vmlinuz-2.2.18pre21' is this different to the 'vmlinux ...' file you
mention. I just wondered is this a source file or something which I need?

TIA

Wayne.
