Ugh, then it's a duet between /sbin/module-update and /sbin/rc. Looking in
/usr/src/linux is just plain wrong. If for any reason I build a kernel, but
don't install it, then it's not just looking for data from an unmounted
filesystem (/boot or /usr) but it's also looking for the *wrong* System.map.
I'm going to file a bug on this. I can imagine cases where this might leave
a system hosed.
I think the latest stable baselayout fixed this (i.e. I'm not getting
this error at boot time anymore). It was reported some time ago:
