I'm messing around on one of my dev machines which has 4 possible kernels installed. 2.4, 2.4-stable, 2.6, 2.6-stable (stable is the last known good kernel). I currently have my System.map files laid out as:
/boot/System.map-2.6.0-test11-bk2 /boot/System.map-2.6.0-test10-bk4 etc.
Would it be possible, necessary, sane to have a lilo.conf similar to this:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4 label=current map=System.map-2.4 read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.stable label=stable map=System.map-2.4.stable read-only optional
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6 label=2.6 map=System.map-2.6 read-only optional
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.stable label=2.6-stable map=System.map-2.6.stable read-only optional
This way when I install a new kernel I can copy the System.map to /boot/System.map-2.6 instead of keeping up with all the version numbers? lilo doesn't seem to like the map= arguements. Does the kernel need the System.map in a single place, can it figure out where it's at for a multiple config?
