If you have more kernels in your lilo image or more esoteric requirements you can do the stuff by hand. BTW I don't know if I agree with the copy it to system.map idea, in Debian we have /boot/system.map-kernelversion and it is stated that /system.map overrides /boot/system.map.kernelversion so be aware of that if procps breaks etc. Regards, Kerry.
