Description R.Smith 2006-01-17 11:30:29 UTC

/sbin/modules-update appears to not be able to see System.map during boot after having updated to (stable):

sys-apps/sysvinit-2.86-r3
sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.14

When booting, the message "System.map not found - unable to check symbols" appears despite System.map being present at /usr/src/linux. However, if you execute the following (borrowed from modules-update):


if [ -f /usr/src/linux/System.map ]; then
  echo "/usr/src/linux/System.map exists and is a regular file"
else
  echo "System.map not found - unable to check symbols"
fi 

... as root after the system has booted, System.map is successfully located.
