 Posted: Tue Jan 17, 2006 11:19 am Post subject: System.map not found, apparently. |
 |
|
I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this, but I am using Gentoo amd64 so it should be ok.
Since installing today's updates I now get, during boot, an error message: "System.map not found. Unable to check symbols." - or something to that effect. The thing is, System.map is in /usr/src/linux as well as /boot, as they have been all along.
The updates were:
sys-apps/sysvinit-2.86-r3
sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.14
It is probably worth noting that and etc-update was needed afterwards. I allowed etc-update to update the scripts in /etc/init.d but I didn't allow it to update the configs in /etc and /etc/conf.d because I didn't want some of my global settings changed. Should I have allowed them to update? Or am I missing something else here? |

go into your /usr/src/linux and execute "make install modules_install" again and it should fix it up.

Thanks for the suggestion, but the problem remains.  |

/sbin/modules-update did change from:
| Code: |
if [ -f /usr/src/linux/System.map ]; then
depmod -a -F /usr/src/linux/System.map ${KV}
else
depmod -a ${KV}
fi
|
to:
| Code: |
if [ -f /usr/src/linux/System.map ]; then
depmod -a -F /usr/src/linux/System.map ${KV}
else
ewarn "System.map not found - unable to check symbols"
fi

| I guess this is a bug, then. System.map is definitely at /usr/src/linux. |

When run by root, what says:
| Code: |
if [ -f /usr/src/linux/System.map ]; then
echo "/usr/src/linux/System.map exists and is a regular file"
else
echo "System.map not found - unable to check symbols"
fi

Perhaps /usr/src/linux is somehow not available when modules runs.
Is /usr/src/linux on the same partition as /?
Is RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP="yes"?
When I emerged the new baselayout it did complain this way. At that time there was no /usr/src/linux/System.map.
I copied it in and rebooted, and there was not this complaining. Box is not AMD64 and /usr/src/linux is on the root partition. |

/usr (and thus /usr/src/linux) is on its own partition and RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP is set to "no". Think I should submit a bug report? |

Before submitting a bug report, you should finish with merging the updates config files with your settings, and see if the problem persists.
You might try, depending on your comfort level:
| Code: |
cd /etc/init.d
mv modules modules.original
cp modules.original modules
|
Edit modules to change line
| Code: |
need checkroot hostname
|
to
| Code: |
need checkroot hostname localmount
|
And rebooting to see if making modules dependent on localmount has an effect.. |

I don't have any modules except for the proprietry nvidia driver, everything else that I need is compiled directly in to the kernel. Stuff that isn't required by my system I have not enabled at all.
As for merging all of the conf files, I don't seem to be able to. If I emerge the two packages again, etc-update says there's nothing to do. Ditto if I unmerge and then remerge them both. |

When you boot, /etc/init.d/modules runs. It runs /sbin/modules-update which runs the code which appears unable to see /usr/src/linux/System.map.
Making modules depend on localmount should force all local partitions to be mounted, before modules-update checks for /usr/src/linux/System.map.
When portage runs it checks the new configs against the old configs. If they are the same, files are not created for etc-update. This indicates you merged the updates over your changes.
Go ahead and create a bug and add a link to this post. It will get more attention if others are seeing this behavior. |

I forgot to suggest checking for existing bugs....
Apparently, the ewarn line will be going back to what it was before. |

I actually did search for 'System.map' but bugzilla returned no matches. 
Ah well, no harm done. |

Certainly other folks will have partitioning like yours, or run 'make clean' as I had, and see the warning.
BTW, unmerging, then re-emerging the system packages - the cure attempt presented more danger than the disease.
Just a word to the wise, as you say, no harm done. |

I'm not entirely sure what System.map does but you're right, it doesn't appear to be critical.
I'm just one of those people who likes to have their systems ticking over perfectly. If there's an error found at boot, it will get investigated, and hopefully fixed, even if it's not important.  |

Hi there. Just wanted to say I'm getting the exact same problems!
System.map exists in /usr/src/linux and /boot and my /usr is also in a seperate partition as well.
So what now? This is officially a bug or what? We just need to wait for an update?
Thanks.
Also...

I so much agree with you, cause I'm like that as well!!! 
Hate getting errors and just ignoring them without understanding them!!! |

Just giving my 0.02$
I was just updateing as I usually do, merged config files as usual...
For me:
/usr/src/linux on the same partition as /? no using LVM2
RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP="yes"? yes
System.map exists in /usr/linux
and, /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.6.14-gentoo-r5/
It seems like it's not a big deal so I'll wait for the fix... 
Cheers! |

Same problem here, not amd64 however...
Does anyone know if this issue should keep my tlan card from working with dhcp?

The same problem here... I think it's a problem with the LVM2 system in my case (/usr is part of it). |

I have the same problem!!!
There is no solution?
I don't know if this has to do with this same bug, but since I installed the new kernel, my computer has completely frozen already two times in a week.

OK, this bug has gotten me also.
I tried to complete a emerge --newuse on gxine. This pulled in a large number of packages including xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6. Packages all compiled successfully. Upon bootup, error message given during startup sequence as "System.map not found, unable to check symbols". So now I can get into X but not start KDE.
I ran make modules modules_install which updated /usr/src/linux/System.map but still resulted in the error message on boot as noted above. BTW, the kernel was not updated anywhere in this process.
Is this a bug fix and if so, of which e-build packages? |
