They should, indeed, be for different kernels. I keep about six to
eight kernels available in /boot. I choose the appropriate System.map
file in rc.sysinit by including the following two lines just after
mounting local filesystems:
v_kernel=`cat /proc/cmdline|cut -d"=" -f2|cut -d" " -f1`
ln -sf /boot/$v_kernel.map /boot/System.map
I'm not absolutely certain that is the proper place, especially since I
have heavily modified RedHat's stuff.
