Hi,

I was trying to look through my newly installed ubuntu 8.10 system for a
vmlinux file. When i couldn't find one i looked for a corresponding
debug package and didn't find that either.

The kernel that i am running is the default 8.10 kernel
2.6.27-7-server, this is a 32bit install.

The only other place where i could find debug packages were in
http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/l/linux/
but that doesn't list a package for my kernel.

Please let me know if there is a way to get precompiled vmlinux or do I
compile one from sources.

Thanks,
Alok

p.s. : Incase, I should be asking on some other list, do let me know.

Are you looking for /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic ?

Hi Tim,

No, I am looking for the corresponding vmlinux file, i need to get the
objdump of the kernel symbols for some debugging.

Though i was able to reproduce the issue on mainline later and debug it,
i would still like to know where can i find the "statically linked, not
stripped" kernel executable a.k.a vmlinux for ubuntu 8.10.

Thanks,
Alok

We don't package the unstripped kernel because it is so large. You'd
have to build it yourself and pull it from the build flavour directory.
