Unresolved Symbols after kernel compile
Hello All, 
 
After re-compiling my kernel and rebooting, I started getting 
messages about "unresoved symbols".  
 
This happens when the system is trying to load the modules, 
and is doing the "depmod -a" command in one of the startup 
scripts.
 
After some poking around, I found I had to do "make 
modules" and "make modules_install" after re-compiling the 
kernel.  
 
So, I started the whole process over again to make sure I got 
a clean run at it (??)...
 
cd /usr/src/linux
make 
mrproper          # from what I 
understand this cleans things up a bit...
make 
xconfig            # 
select stuff, etc...
make dep
make clean
make zlilo
make modules
make modules_install
 
and finally reboot the system...
 
I was still getting the "unresolved symbol" 
message.
 
Trying something I saw on the list a short while back, I ran 
"depmod -a 2.0.34" for the kernel version I'm running, but no 
go.
 
I feel as if I'm missing something very simple...
 
Hopefully I'm giving you all enough information to make some 
sense of it... 8D
 
Thanks!!!
