The System.map is a link should be linked to a
System.map-2.x.xx-extra-version-string
in the /boot directory. I have no idea if thats handled automaticly
by those who actually use the 'make install' of the Makefile or not.
I personally haven't used that in several years as my own script also
takes care of all the housekeeping without putzing with my grub.conf,
which I do by hand.
However, if I back up 1-15 kernel versions and boot that, this link
seems to be self updating and is not a problem when I scroll back up
the list grub gives me and decide to use an older kernel.

I *think* its automatic these days, go take a look with an
"ls -l /boot".
