This is mostly harmless and indicates that you haven't copied the map file
to where  it belongs.

The map file is created by linker when you build the kernel and is in
/usr/src/linux/System.map after the compilation is done. I usually copy it
to /boot/System.map-2.3.99-pre3 (name does not matter) and create a link
to it:

ln -s /boot/System.map-2.3.99-pre3 /boot/System.map

Next time you reboo the kernel will find it.

Thanks,
Dmitri
