It is, afaik, only used during kernel oops tracing.

Someone recently gave an *excellent* description of the various System.map's,
plural, their order of precedence, and where the kernel would look for them. It
will be in the archives. However, a good quick'n dirty to get over this
continuing irritation is to simply

cd /boot
rm System.map
ln -s /usr/src/linux/System.map System.map

This presupposes that any kernels you build will be at the above location. The
rev level being irrelevant.
