Copy /usr/src/linux/System.map to /boot
But remove the symlink in /boot for System.map first otherwise you will
delete the System.map for 2.2.12-22.
You can even leave your new System.map in /usr/src/linux. If no
/boot/System.map is found in /boot during booting, then programs which use
System.map look in / then /usr/src/ for it.
Another problem with a new kernel and modules can be having a
/etc/modules.conf file created by using;
modprobe -c > /etc/modules.conf with your old running kernel.
It will create /etc/modules.conf with lines like;
path[misc]=/lib/modules/2.2.12-20
When another kernel version is booted all modules will fail with
'unresolved symbols' and
'cant open /lib/modules/2.2.xx/modules.dep'
The above is not a System.map related answer but one which does accour from
time to time.
The solution to the avove is substitute
path[misc]=/lib/modules/2.2.12-20 with
path[misc]=/lib/modules/'uname -r'
