/usr/src/linux/System.map ...

it's a "map" of kernel regions that is created whenever you compile a new 
kernel.

copy it to /boot and append the kernel version to it..
i.e /boot/System.map-2.4.14

although, you don't absolutely need it.. unless you cause the system to "oops"

Unix is an operating system, OS/2 is half an operating system, Windows
is a shell, and DOS is a boot partition virus.
