Starting with a stock RH 7.0 install, I changed a single kernel config item and recompiled with 'make defs clean bzImage modules modules_install'.

Booted on the new kernel and depmod complains that dozens of modules contain unresolved symbols. Back to the original kernel, now it also complains of unresolved symbols (not the same set of modules, and modules that were previously OK).

Broken kernel makefiles when module symbols are turned on.

Or leftover modules from the stock install.

Not with kernel 2.4. I changed make modules_install to erase the old kernel modules precisely to avoid this problem.
