i wrote a very nice piece on the System.map file. you can find it at my personal website, along with other bits and pieces of linux knowledge:
http://www.dirac.org/p/linux/systemmap.html
what's most likely happening is that the System.map file that klogd is
finding is in /boot/System.map, since that's the first location klogd will
look by default.
one of the steps when you compile a kernel would be:
cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/System.map-thisversion
ln -s /boot/System.map-thisversion /boot/System.map
note that having the wrong System.map in place won't hurt anything except
for maybe dosemu, wine and kernel dumps in case you hit an oops.
