No, the bootfile name should not be read-only; I knew what I was doing when I wrote that code. Yes, the Makefile should not be messing with it. The reason for making the bootfile name not be read-only is to allow LKMs to leave their symbol-files in some convenient place and set kern.bootfile to point there, so that other programs like `modload' and `netstat' are able to find it. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
