eeek. i did copy /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot, but forgot to
include that in my description of the steps i took. sorry about that.
when i did 'make install' the problem went away immediately, without even rebooting.
it created two new map files in /boot however. System.map-2.2.14 is the same as
/usr/src/linux/System.map (judging by size). the second new file was System.map,
which wasn't a symbolic link, but a regular file. System.map-2.2.14 is 190k and
System.map is 35k.
does anyone know what this smaller System.map is?
