No System.map? Can that cause unresolved symbols?

[c-mort]

I'm new to compiling my own kernel, and I see that most how-tos say to copy your System.map and bzImage to /boot -- except this one. What makes a system know to look at /boot/System.map anyway?

I'm troubleshooting the following error in XFree86.0.log, and thought it might be related?
"Symbol __glXActiveScreens from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!"

(note: Latest xfree, nvidia-kernel, nvidia-glx, kde3)

Thanks. Other than that, everything runs awesome "out of the box". Oh, maybe that's because there is no box ;)

copy your system.map file (the NEW one in the /usr/src/... dir

it will stop the unresolved messages..

if you use lilo, then put in the system.map entry
