Redhat creates a symlink at boottime in the /boot directory via one of the
init scripts.
It sounds to me like you have not copied Sytem.map to /boot
I belive you would be well advised to rename it to System.map-'uname -r'
where uname -r is the kernel version and extraversion number.
Then upon the next reboot a symbolic link should be created in /boot
pointing towards the proper System.map.
Possably someone else who uses Redhat can explain how they do it, as i dont
use Redhat all to much theesdays.
As to the sound problem, i cant answer that, 1) i dont use that sound
driver 2) there is not enough info on the problem.
