It is not bad. It just means precisely what the messages say: your /boot/System.map is a version for kernel version 2.2.5, and you are running another kernel.
Simple solution: you will find that /boot/System.map is a symlink to /boot/System.map-2.2.5-15
Just delete the symlink, you can leave the /boot/System.map-2.2.5-15 file.
System.map is a list of all kernel functions and their addresses, which is only needed for debugging purposes. I believe you can build one yourself with the nm command, but I don't know the precise syntax.
Hope this helps, Ward.
