1. The old System.map resides in /boot
2. The new System.map resides in /usr/src/linux
3. Rename old System.map in /boot to System.map to System.map-2.x.x (where
2.x.x is the version number)
mv /boot/System.map /boot/System.map-2.x.x
4. Copy new System.map in /usr/src/linux to /boot
using cp /usr/src/linux/System.map to /boot/System.map
You can end at this. Or continue like this:
5. Rename System.map in /boot to System.map-2.x.x (where 2.x.x is the new
version number)
6. Create a symbolic link (sym link) System.map pointing to the new
System.map-2.x.x)
ln -s System.map-2.x.x System.map
If you do not already know about Symbolic Links, take some trouble to learn
it. You will find it useful very often.
