Systems etc?

Post by Rick » Wed, 05 Jul 2000 04:00:00



I can find new kernels easy enough, but I can never seem to find the
system.map, or the modules files. Where might I find these?

Any and all help appreciated.

They are really easy to generate from your kernel image file, see the
archives (or the kernel makefile) for the precise command.

I cant seem to find a kernel makefile when I DL a kernel. They dont seem
to come with kernel binaries.

You don't actually need a System.map; they're for debugging purposes
only.  But from the makefile, edited trivially to work without make
variables:

nm vmlinux | grep -v '\(compiled\)\|\(\.o$$\)\|\( [aU]
\)\|\(\.\.ng$$\)\|\(LASH[RL]DI\)' | sort > System.map

1. corrupted file system: /etc directory overwritten by plain file

Yesterday, while working at home with X, Linux kernel version 1.1.59,
suddenly my rxvt terminal froze. Opened another terminal, said
 su root -
and the system replied:
 user root unknown

It turned out that the /etc directory was overwritten by a file
containing a plain text headerless mail message from cron to root.

After recovering the /etc tree ran a fschk: lots of loose Inodes-> put
them in lost+found. Contained the files from my gone /etc directory.

Can somebody explain what happened, and whether or not I can expect
this to happen again? (In which case I must regretfully go looking for
another OS. Has anybody seen Bill tweaking the code?)

I have changed to kernal revision 1.2.8, hoping that this is a bug
fixed by know.
