Linux searches for the correct System.map, which gets generated during
the Linux build process, in /boot/System.map-<suffix>. Where <suffix>
is the suffix, which the linux image itself has.

For example:
If your Linux image is in /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17-foobar-pre2, your
System.map should be /boot/System.map-2.2.17-foobar-pre2.

Have you compiled Linux yourself and forgotten to copy the System.map?
The kernel-deb's generated by kernel-package manage the System.maps
automatically.
