I might be in the wrong...but why are you copying your running kernel 
system.map to the src dir? AFAIK the system.map is generated during the 
build process. Also you should consider building the modules and 
installing them. Most probably your distro modules will have some 
problems with a custom built kernel(even though you have the same config).
