Hello all, I am a little bit worried about this message about not finding the map file upon bootup. Everything seems *completely* normal except for this little message. I looked in the kernel sources (2.0.22) to try and find the reason for it, but had no luck.
This appears after doing a shutdown -r now. Particulars - new debian install after wiping clean an old dos and slackware setup. Old setup: dos on hda1, linux root on hda3, where the lilo boot sector resided. New setup has linux root on hda1, where I believe the lilo boot sector is (the debian configuration tool wouldn't have stuck it on the MBR now, would it?) Should I worry? Any help appreciated. Thanks, Jim PS What should the perms be on /boot/map? I've got 600. ************************* eerie message ******************* Oct 24 21:47:45 yardbird syslogd 1.3-0#6: restart.
