You can ignore these messages. Red Hat installs modules for a *lot*
of drivers so that users are less likely to have to rebuild their
kernel. You are probably seeing the "Unresolved symbols" message
because those particular modules require symbols found in files which
Red Hat compiled into their kernel but you neither compiled into yours
or built as modules. (For instance, you'll get messages for
everything in /lib/modules/2.0.18/scsi if you did not enable SCSI
support when you built your kernel.)
