Description Soenke Huels 2006-02-23 05:08:41 UTC 
Running modules-update on boot via the modules init script produces the error

"System.map not found - unable to check symbols"

if /usr is on a separate partition.
The reason for that is to be found in th e modules-update script, from line 201:

--------------------------
# We also call depmod here to stop insmod from complaining that modules.conf
# is more recent then modules.dep
#
if [ -d "`depdir`" -a -f /proc/modules ]
then
        if [ -f /usr/src/linux/System.map ]; then
                depmod -a -F /usr/src/linux/System.map ${KV}
        else
                ewarn "System.map not found - unable to check symbols"
        fi
fi
-----------------------------

The script searches for the System.map in /usr/src, which is not mounted at that time.
As of now, this did not seem to create any problems besides the warning message.
If more info is required, I will be pleased to provide it.

Regards,

soenke
