Cannot find map file

[Richard Harke <rharke@earthlink.net>]

I get the following sequence of messages in /var/log/messages

kernel: Cannot find map file
kernel: Error seeking in /dev/kmem
kernel: Symbol #ehci-hcd, value 000e4000
kernel: Error adding kernel module table entry.

The first of these is the third after restart

Is this refering to System.map and if so, where does it expect
to find it? What problems would these errors cause?

Mostly, things seem to work, though the joystick doesn't.
Programs can "see" the joystick but the input data is wrong.
