2.4.7 Kernel Modules Problem

Hello All,

Yes, it's me, just using a different account. It seems that the mail server no
longer likes responding to my email, something I think is to do with the fact
that we changed ISPs recently, and the dust is still settling.

On to the problem:

I'm building a machine and have grabed the 2.4.7 kernel and compiled it. I've
installed a new version of modutils (2.4.6-1) and followed the following
process:

  - make mrproper
  - make dep
  - make menuconfig
  - make clean
  - make
  - make modules
  - make install
  - make modules_install

Now, when I reboot (after editing /etc/lilo.conf appropriately) using the new
kernel and 'depmod -a' runs, I get lots of unresolved symbols errors. The error
list seems to equate to anything compiled as a module, which is somewhat
disturbing.

Can anyone suggest why this may be happening and remedies for it? Is it an issue
with 2.4.7? Do I need a newer version of depmod or is there something else going
on?

Thanks in Advance,

   - andrew
