Yes.
With older baselayout [1], the System.map file wasn't required :
[code]
if [ -f /usr/src/linux/System.map ]; then
depmod -a -F /usr/src/linux/System.map ${KV}
else
depmod -a ${KV}
fi
[/code]
One day, the code evolved to :
[code]
if [ -f /usr/src/linux/System.map ]; then
depmod -a -F /usr/src/linux/System.map ${KV}
else
ewarn "System.map not found - unable to check symbols"
fi
[/code]
So, developpers decided to search the System.map file in different
paths, but if your /boot and /usr directories are mounted on partitions,
you must copy the file in /, because modules-update is ran before
mounting partitions.
