why /usr/src2?  you should use /usr/src only and if you want to keep 2.2.13
and 2.4.0 apart just use /usr/src/linux-2.4.0 and /usr/src/linux-2.2.13 with
/usr/src/linux having a softlink to your current kernel directory.

i always copy the System.map to /boot and label it appropriately to dintiguish
which one is for which kernel.
