[SLUG] RH Kernel Rebuilding

[Steven Kerr <linux.com@nospam.start.com.au>]

After upgrading my RH6.1 server from the distribution kernel 2.2.12-20
to 2.2.16 I now have a few queries.

During boot of the new kernel, I got a warning message that the
System.map-2.2.12-20 is invalid.

Looking in /boot I discovered a symbolic link System.map that pointed
to System.map-2.2.12-20. Removal of this cured the bootup error
messages and from an operational point of view, everything appears to
work ok.

I have also noticed that /boot/map seems to have been created at the
first startup of the new kernel.

So, what do you do with a kernel upgrade for the /boot directory ?

Do you need a new System.map, and if you do how is it created ?

What about /boot/module-info that is a symbolic link to
module-info-2.2.12-20 ?

How do I get a new one of those ?

Is there any documentation regarding the 'upgrade' to System.Map and
module-info.

Regards


SK
