I have seen that problem come up from time to time... Simply, you pull the
file, /usr/src/linux/System.map and place that in /boot and name is
something like /boot/System.map.2.1.132 (or some other logical convention
that works for you. This is assuming that you are somewhat like me, and
have multiple boot kernels. If not, then copy System.map as /boot/map, run
lilo and you should be good to go.
As a standard practice, the current boot kernel's system map is
automatically put into /boot after you finish with the compilation. If you
are running multiple boot kernels, then there is a simple way of handling
that. Like I mentioned above, name your System.map file into something
logical and place it in /boot.
Add to your lilo.conf a map option for each kernel that you are
supporting, ie:
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/sda1
label = linux
map = /boot/System.map-2.1.132
#
image = /boot/vmlinuz.old
root = /dev/sda1
label = linux-stable
map = /boot/System.map-2.0.35
#
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36
root = /dev/sda1
label = linux-2.0.36
map = /boot/System.map-2.0.36
Run lilo and you will be good to go! Hope this answered your question...
