I eventually used just strip -o test vmlinux and copied test into /boot/vmlinuz-
2.4.21-pre5, and copied /usr/src/linux/System.map into /boot/System.map. But I
also have another /boot/System.map-2.4.21-pre5 which I had in there from
previous attempts at a kernel compilation. Here is what I have in my logs:
Mar 9 11:45:59 nighthawk kernel: Loaded 11136 symbols from /boot/System.map-
2.4.21-pre5.
Mar 9 11:45:59 nighthawk kernel: Symbols match kernel version 2.4.21.
Mar 9 11:45:59 nighthawk kernel: Loaded 111 symbols from 14 modules.
