Copy your System.map to /.
If you have separate /boot and /usr partitions, the System.map file is
searched in /.
[quote from /sbin/modules-update]
for cfg in /lib/modules/${KV}/build /usr/src/linux-${KV} \
/boot /usr/src/linux ""
do
cfg="${cfg}/System.map"
[[ -f ${cfg} ]] && break
done
[/quote]

Yes.
With older baselayout [1], the System.map file wasn't required :
[code]
if [ -f /usr/src/linux/System.map ]; then
depmod -a -F /usr/src/linux/System.map ${KV}
else
depmod -a ${KV}
fi
[/code]
One day, the code evolved to :
[code]
if [ -f /usr/src/linux/System.map ]; then
depmod -a -F /usr/src/linux/System.map ${KV}
else
ewarn "System.map not found - unable to check symbols"
fi
[/code]
So, developpers decided to search the System.map file in different
paths, but if your /boot and /usr directories are mounted on partitions,
you must copy the file in /, because modules-update is ran before
mounting partitions.

Ridiculous...

I've made it:
for cfg in /lib/modules/${KV} /lib/modules/${KV}/build...
Then you just copy "System.map" to "/lib/modules/${KV}" which is -of course-
mounted on boot. C'mon Devs!! It's not that hard!!

This could be done during the make modules_install step.

I had been having this too. I was curious why it started that. Of
course, I had not rebooted in about two months either. What affect does
this have anyway??
