I think there may be a configuration in lilo to use a different System.map
file. It should be located in /boot. Also, I believe there is a command
depmod that runs at boot. This locates the module dependancies. You can
give the depmod a directory to use. The script to look at is
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.
Please let me know if this is incorrect, because I have similar problems.
I don't have an SMP computer to test this on right now as my backup
machine is down, down down...
