| Hi..
| 
| After reading Documentation on System.map, i understood that , whenever 
| an oops happens the following addresses  will be converted to its 
| function name by klogd daemon using System.map.
| 
| Now when we have /proc/kallsyms which stores the symbol table in the 
| kernel image itself.Then what is the need of System.map file??Is any 
| process or daemon still using it??

oldish, but quite useful: http://www.dirac.org/linux/system.map/
