Compiled a new kernel and didn't copy the System.map to /boot?

It doesn't seem to be harming the system just wondering what the hell it is!

Right, it doesn't matter. The system map is only used for disassembling kernel oopses.

Thanx

No, it doesn't harm. Acutally, it does harm but only in case of a kernel panic. If you compile the kernel with "make zlilo" the make process should take care of copying the correct System.map over. I take you compiled a kernel and copied the new kernel manually ot /boot?
