I assume the /boot/System.map file should be different for different
kernels. If so, how can we control this? With LILO I can pick
several kernels. But I don't see any way to choose different
System.map files.
On a similar topic, what about the initrd*.img file on my RH6.2
system? How is this generated? I don't find such a file in the
kernel source directory tree after I compile.
