all seems well, I modified my .config today to clean up the kernel a bit
since I decided to give the new trafic shaper code/module a try. Only
thing is that something in the new .config file is causing a problem with
the installation of the modules in 2.1.12[3-6] and possibly earlier:

/bin/sh: /lib/modules/2.1.125/.allmods: No such file or directory
/bin/sh: /lib/modules/2.1.125/.misc: No such file or directory

Those are the only two errors reported.. My previous .config (not listed
below) will produce the module without failure, the new one (*is* listed
below) repeatedly casues a problem. I have already spent 4 hours on this
trying to figure it out and I recently (10 minutes ago) narrowed it down
to a change in the .config file. I created a diff of the two and I am
applying each change one by one until it breaks again, and then I will
remove each of those until it works again until I narrow it down to the
problem.

I'm hoping however that someone out there has a clue what's causing the
problem just form these configs files because obviously this is goignt o
take an incredible while.

(.config that works)
