/boot/symvers-2.6.18-164.el5.gz
 
Hi

Can any body tell me what /boot/symvers2.6.18-164.el5.gz file contains?

It's (guessing) a kernel Module.symvers from a 2.6.18-164.el5 (RedHat type) Enterprise Linux 5 kernel. Kernel related module stuff. Google it.

During a kernel build, a file named Module.symvers will be
generated. Module.symvers contains all exported symbols from
the kernel and compiled modules. For each symbol, the
corresponding CRC value is also stored.

The syntax of the Module.symvers file is:
<CRC> <Symbol> <module>

you can run :
#gunzip symvers-$(uname -r).gz

and then vim symvers-version... to see the content . this is some part of my symvers file :
