Sure you could rebuild the kernel from Caldera's source, but i don't know why you should waste time on it. For starters, Caldera's kernel is _old_, very old. Why rebuild an old kernel that is several months out of date? Secondly, why rebuild _any_ kernel just to get a System.map file, if everything is working fine? However, if you're determined, then all you should need to do is make sure you have Caldera's kernel source RPM installed, and then build a kernel off of it using the /usr/src/linux/.config that is already in there. If I were you, i'd spend my time building 2.4.17 or 2.4.18. At least once you finish that you'll have both a System.map and a modern kernel that isn't loaded with all kinds of bloat.
