Re: [Nolug] Modprobe unresolved symbol errors

Sorry I've taken so long to reply on this. My "real"
job (um, I have to admit I do Windows)intervened, and
it was only last night I got to work on my Linux
project. Thanks, Ray, for the advice. I finally
ended up building a new kernel which took care of the
unresolved symbol errors.
