I have recently noticed that 'make modules_install' tries as a last step
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.4.1-ac13; fi
I depends on 'make install' doing the right symlinks in /boot.
Would not be better to do a:
if [ -r System.map-2.4.1-ac13 ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map-2.4.1-ac13
2.4.1-ac13; fi
???

The System.map depmod uses is the one in the top level linux directory.
It has nothing to do with where the distribution will copy that
System.map to, nor does it depend on /boot. Leave it alone.

You're forgetting it's using System.map from your build directory and
not from /boot.
