System.map / Kernel association.
After looking up various Google scenarios to find an answer, I seem to not get a specific answer.
I know there needs to be a System.map file and I am under the impression it needs to be associated to the specific kernel being loaded... What confuses me is by default System.map uses the installed kernel but from what I read when recompiling, it mentions to remove "rm System.mal" and then "ln -s System.map-new-kernel System.map (overwriting original?).
My question is, let's say my recompiled kernel is a failure of ignorance, and it doesn't boot, will my original working kernel still boot even though I linked the recompiled kernel/System.map to the standard System.map?
I guess I am asking because I recompiled, got a kernel panic (how original) and when I boot my original I get a plethora of errors and it won't boot. All i did was recompile and modify lilo and added new kernel as well as rm original System.map and overwrite the original.
