Cannot find system map file

[Net Llama]

Sure you could rebuild the kernel from Caldera's source, but i don't
know why you should waste time on it.  For starters, Caldera's kernel is
_old_, very old.  Why rebuild an old kernel that is several months out
of date?  Secondly, why rebuild _any_ kernel just to get a System.map
file, if everything is working fine?
However, if you're determined, then all you should need to do is make
sure you have Caldera's kernel source RPM installed, and then build a
kernel off of it using the /usr/src/linux/.config that is already in
there.
If I were you, i'd spend my time building 2.4.17 or 2.4.18.  At least
once you finish that you'll have both a System.map and a modern kernel
that isn't loaded with all kinds of bloat.
