I have recompiled the kernel with SMP support enabled (I have a 2 PIII
600's), and when I try and boot from the new kernel I get the following
error:

Loading aic7xxx module
/lib/aic7xxx.o: kernel-module version mismatch
/lib/aic7xxx.o was compiled for kernel version 2.2.12-20smp
while this kernel is version 2.2.12-20.

it then panics because it can't find the root file system.

I did the following to make the kernel:

cd /usr/src/linux
make distclean
make menuconfig
-> Enabled SMP
make dep
make bzImage modules modules_install
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/linux.test

Any idea what is going on and how I can fix it?

Don't set version info in the kernel build,
rebuild your SCSI modules when you build the kernel
Do make modules ; make modules_install
after make bzImage

you're using a SCSI controller right? you forgot to create a new ram disk with
the new SMP modules on em (I did the exact same thing when I compiled a
2.2.14smp kernel on my RH 6.1 box).

After
make modules_install
do a
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.12smp.img 2.2.12smp
and update your /etc/lilo.conf file accordingly.

Perhaps you have already solved this, but if not: I had the same
problem about 6 months ago, and tried to fix it
via the mkinitrd route. I could never get that to work. But
what finally worked was to configure the scsi driver to
compile into the kernel, rather than having it load as
a module at boot time.
