actually the initscripts should do automatically the link for
System.map file to System.map-$(uname -r) :

/etc/rc.sysinit
# Adjust symlinks as necessary in /boot to keep system services from
# spewing messages about mismatched System maps and so on.
if [ -L /boot/System.map -a -r /boot/System.map-`uname -r` ] ; then
        ln -sf System.map-`uname -r` /boot/System.map 2>/dev/null
fi
if [ ! -e /boot/System.map -a -r /boot/System.map-`uname -r` ] ; then
        ln -sf System.map-`uname -r` /boot/System.map 2>/dev/null
fi
