Description Philipp Weinfurter 2006-01-22 09:19:12 UTC 
When booting the system, the above script will warn that there is no System.map, even if there is one.

Reproducible: 
Always, if /usr lives in its own partition.

Reason:
The script tests for /usr/src/linux/System.map at a point when /usr isn't yet mounted. The offending code is at the bottom of /sbin/modules_update:
<quote>
if [ -d "`depdir`" -a -f /proc/modules ]
then
        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
fi
