Is this for real? comx.o has been broken since 2.4.0 it seems! Anyone know anything about these modules?

Darrel, these errors are caused because (though the modules compile) they are making references to functions that no longer exist in the kernel. My advice is that (unless you really need to use these modules) you configure your kernel to not include them.

Thanks, that helped alot. Now I'm running into another small problem, I've done it just as you listed. Everything goes good unitll I go to "make modules_install". The problem is that it halts with this description.
mkdir -p pcmcia; \
find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{} pcmcia if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.4.18; fi
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/net/wan/comx.o

cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.5/.config /usr/src/linux-2.4.18/.config cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.18
make oldconfig
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.18/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18
Then edit your /etc/lilo.conf, and add an entry for your new kernel.
Run "lilo"
Reboot.
Hope this helps.
