Confirmed this on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid server. I installed from a minimal boot disc (9 MB), just 2 days ago. The system boots normally, but the error is there (/var/log/messages). Here are the facts:

Relevant /boot/menu.1st:
title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-9-generic
uuid e5fd85d1-722b-48e1-8f9f-7c5cf5eedba6
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27-9-generic root=UUID=1499eb27-9d87-4daf-b5e9-ba1f2584f636 ro quiet splash quiet
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.27-9-generic

Relevant log:
Jan 6 00:31:02 server kernel: Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.6.27-9-generic
Jan 6 00:31:02 server kernel: Cannot find map file.

Comparing to other ubuntu distribution, it seems that "menu.1st" has a wrong path to kernel.
Relevand /boot/menu.1st (Ubuntu 7.04 - feisty):
title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-15-server
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-15-server root=UUID=954bfdb6-02ba-4f17-90f8-e7811866e29e ro quiet splash hdc=cdrom vga=773
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-15-server

I'm not at the location and can't make the change, but when I'll be there I'll manually correct the path in /boot/menu.1st and see if it's all fine.
