Hi

What System.map do you use for depmod ?
If you do a man depmod you can see that it has an algorithm
for finding the System.map. But maybe the case that
depmod thins that your System.map is in another directory.

I think it's better to specify manually the system map
from your kernel tree (i.e. /usr/src/linux/System.map)
