,----[ Jamal ] | Hi.. | | After reading Documentation on System.map, i understood that , whenever | an oops happens the following addresses will be converted to its | function name by klogd daemon using System.map. | | Now when we have /proc/kallsyms which stores the symbol table in the | kernel image itself.Then what is the need of System.map file??Is any | process or daemon still using it?? `---- oldish, but quite useful: http://www.dirac.org/linux/system.map/ --- thanks anupam
