Hi Again Tim: No. That warning is telling you that you didn't copy the System.map file in /usr/src/linux into either / or /boot after the compile. It depends on what your distribution is expecting as where to find the file. It is a warning though and should not cause a problem running, but you'll want to correct the situation to avoid continuous messages when running ps and the like.
