The attached note is from my posting to comp.os.linux.setup,
alt.os.linux.
In brief I've built kernels 2.0.0, 2.0.10, 2.0.20, 2.0.26. My
system configuration was changed to match 127.0.0.[1|0] change between
2.0.0 and 2.0.10.
I've attempted to run the kernel 2.0.29 with modules built after reboot,
as well as using 2.0.0 modules with mod versions turned off.
In the newsgroup it was reported that people are having a similar
problem with 2.0.27. I think I had the problem when I tried 2.0.25, but
due to cold feet I undid the patch and waited for 2.0.26. Oh, 2.0.26
gives the following horrid spam during bootup:
/sbin/depmod -a
*** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/2.0.26/fs/nfs.o
*** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/2.0.26/misc/lp.o
*** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/2.0.26/misc/serial.o
*** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/2.0.26/net/eql.o

*** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/2.0.26/block/rd.o
*** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/2.0.26/ipv4/ip_alias.o
*** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/2.0.26/ipv4/ip_masq_ftp.o

*** Unresolved symbols in module
/lib/modules/2.0.26/ipv4/ip_masq_raudio.o
*** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/2.0.26/ipv4/ipip.o
As nfs (and floppy) are built into my kernel (now), I think that this
spam could be removed by making the "make modules_install" remove all
old modules...
Anyway, thanks for your attention in this matter.
And thanks for the GREAT work!

Following the "recommended procedure" for building a kernel:
ie,
make config
make clean ; make dep ; make zlilo
reboot
make modules; make modules_install
reboot
I have the following problem in boot:
Symbol 'io' not found.
The ethernet driver (tulip.o) fails to load
Course the 'Symbol 'io' not found.' message is spammed with
all the network services attempting to load in inet...
- and everything else seems to work fine (ie, msdos.o modules
loads and works.)
I have MODULE_VERSIONS_ON (sp) ...
