However, how critical can it be, if I have 10 versions of kernels in /boot and in /boot/grub/grub.conf, and NEVER copied that file? It gets created in /usr/src/linux-xxxx, but NOT in /boot. And is not referenced anywhere in my grub.conf. If it's to be used, it needs to be called on the kernel line of the grub.conf. And I've got 30 gentoo servers running, without a one having the system.map file copied. > > Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
