I have an up-to-date intrepid system
I have reinstalled the 27-4 kernel (everything with 2.6.27-4 involved too), this still does not create the file/fix the problem

I don't know what i can include to help you out, but I will give you any information you need

Did this happen immediately after a kernel update or more randomly?

Mackenzie,

I actually found it trying to fix another problem with my boot (looking through my kernel log).
I did my usual google search and found a few things that only mentioned to reinstall the kernel and it "should" fix itself, but nothing with peoples results, and it wasn't fixed on my end.

Hope this helps.

oh, and to answer your question, i dont' know if it was immediate or random, i had cleanly installed intrepid, and had a uvesafb problem, and upon looking through noticed the kernel saying it couldn't find system.map and thought it may be a problem, and after the kernel reinstall I knew where to look to check on the error and it was there still.

Confirmed this on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid server. I installed from a minimal boot disc (9 MB), just 2 days ago. The system boots normally, but the error is there (/var/log/messages). Here are the facts:

Comparing to other ubuntu distribution, it seems that "menu.1st" has a wrong path to kernel.
Relevand /boot/menu.1st (Ubuntu 7.04 - feisty):
title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-15-server
root (hd0,0)

initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-15-server

I'm not at the location and can't make the change, but when I'll be there I'll manually correct the path in /boot/menu.1st and see if it's all fine.

For the record, though the error message from klogd is both misleading and (for some) a bit scary, the fact that klogd isn't loading System.map appears to be completely harmless for us.

Our kernels are built with KALLSYMS=y, so we're getting symbol names in stack traces anyway, despite klogd's inability to do the lookups itself.

from init/version.c:
#ifndef CONFIG_KALLSYMS
#define version(a) Version_ ## a

Looks like this is an intentional optimization, and the real buglet here is just that klogd should perhaps be made intelligent enough to realize it's loading on a KALLSYMS kernel, and suppress its error message (or print something friendlier like "Not loading System.map, because the kernel is built with internal symbol lookup tables")

Adam, I think the issue there is that klogd does not (as far as I know) have any reliable way of detecting that the running kernel was compiled with that option enabled; while it's true on ubuntu systems that /boot/config-$(uname -r) exists, it's not guaranteed to exist generically, and I don't see that information exported via /proc or /sys, though I'd be happy to be corrected. (IIRC, there used to be a patch floating around that would cause the kernel to create a /proc/config.gz, but it didn't get accepted upstream.)

Hello!

I'm not sure if this is of any use at this point, but I just found this too, running 2.6.30rc5

Same problem !

Jul 17 13:45:16 srv kernel: Cannot find map file.

The map file is present. This bug causes problems after issuing a reboot. The server reboots, but hangs at the console. Typing 'exit' from initramfs proceeds to a normal boot, but that isn't really a viable solution, since the server is located somewhere else.

metastable, as discussed above by Adam Conrad, the message about not being able to find a map file is harmless, it just sounds scary. Your problem is almost certainly caused by something else, so please file a new bug about that, or ask on one of the support channels for help.

Thank you for the fast reply, Lars.
This is indeed a different bug, although I have no RAID:

Adding "rootdelay=90" works for me.

/boot/grub/menu.lst:

Running Karmic with kernel 2.6.31-5-generic, this scary message still exist; searching this file return /boot. My system hangs too & i have to type exit in initramfs to continue booting ( same than post 40).

Suggestion: as this message is useless but scary, can we redirect it to > null , waiting to a better & cleaner solution ?

Hi Brian,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 277924

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Hey, I have checked through this to try and reproduce this issue and I can't find this error in my kernel logs (or any other log).

Thanks for checking back, I totally forgot about this bug.

By default, people should not see this message in 10.04 LTS because the default syslog daemon was swiched from sysklogd to rsyslog, which does not generate it.
