/boot is not normally in one's PATH, so you might have to do
something like "startmol ./System.map-2.2.18pre21" from the /boot
folder, but...
What I do when this has happened, is go into /boot and make sure a
symbolic link exists, in your case System.map ->
System.map-2.2.18pre21. Of course, make sure System.map-2.2.18pre21
is in /boot as well.
Most consider this standard practice, and is a good way to be sure
that you have the right System.map for things like backtraces as well
as mol booting. W.r.t. mol, this solution has worked 100% of the time
for me.
I don't know debian at all, but I assume at least this part works like Redhat.
