I'm running NistNet which requires that I patch my kernel. I patched the
kernel, rebuilt, installed, ran lilo, etc. The new kernel boots OK but I
get lots of messages from depmod "Unresolved symbols in module XXXXX",
listing all of the modules in my /lib/modules directory. Of course, none of
my modules loaded. I tried rebuilding the modules, I tried building the
kernel with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS set, but still end up with some or all
modules having the unresolved symbols problem.

Any ideas?

did you do?
make modules; make modules_install

Jose,

Thanks for responding.

I did....
- make mrproper
- make xconfig
- make dep
- make zImage
- make modules
- make modules_install
- copied zImage to /vmlinuz (& backed up old kernel)
- added a second kernel entry to /etc/config.lilo
- ran lilo
- reboot

I'm running kernel 2.0.30 (with a small patch). Also, I tried running insmod and it tells me "The module symbols (from linux-2.0.30 don't match your linux-2.0.30)".

Any idea what the kernel is looking for when it checks a module's symbols?
