Boot.msg error:/boot/System.map-2.6.27.21-0.1-default

English Install/Boot/Login

Hello,

I recently updated my system from opensuse 11.0 to 11.1; by checking the logs I noticed a boot.msg error that I wish to show below:

Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.6.27.21-0.1-default
Cannot find map file.
No module symbols loaded - kernel modules not enabled

The strange fact is that system booting is perfect and I am not noticing any error or troubles, other than the failure of my laptop soft-key (HP Pavillion DV6230) to control system audio (on/off and volume stop to work).

By issuing a:

depmod -ae -F /boot/System.map-2.6.27.21-0.1-default

I see that some modules are not loaded:

WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.27.21-0.1-default/kernel/drivers/media/video/saa7134/saa7134-alsa.ko needs unknown symbol snd_card_new
WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.27.21-0.1-default/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-alsa.ko needs unknown symbol snd_card_new
WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.27.21-0.1-default/kernel/drivers/media/video/em28xx/em28xx-alsa.ko needs unknown symbol snd_card_new
WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.27.21-0.1-default/kernel/drivers/staging/go7007/go7007.ko needs unknown symbol snd_card_new

I would like to know if are there some verifications/solutions to solve this issue.

Thanks

Hmm, do you not have this file?

-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 1420953 2009-04-02 10:37 System.map-2.6.27.21-0.1-default

It comes from the package kernel-default-base

Sorry, it’s a mystery to me then.

You are welcome ken!
I googled a bit before to post, but it seems the majority of this issue is related to custom kernels.

In my case I simply ran a distribution update from 11 to 11.1.

As stated before, my laptop boots and works perfectly as well as the Windows Vista, which is stored in dual-boot on same HDD.

I see this too. There is also a bugreport open concerning this problem https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=476024
