Description Takashi Iwai 2005-09-23 09:34:25 UTC 
The recent mkinitrd requires System.map (or the one with the version suffix) on
/boot.  If not exists, however, it still creats initrd file which is unusable
because of lack of modules.dep.

mkinitrd should check the existence of System.map and doesn't pass -F option if
not there, or completely fail.  Better would be to have another option to
specify System.map explicitly like -k or -i.
Comment 1 Hannes Reinecke 2005-12-05 14:53:37 UTC 
Added a switch '-M' to mkinitrd to specify a System.map file to use. Abort if no useable file has been found.
