Hello,
I downloaded linux kernel 2.6.8.1 from kernel.org and proceeded to compile and install it.
The compilation is somewhat different than with the 2.4 kernels I'm more accustomed to.
Everything seems to go well enough (although make gconfig didn't work) until make modules_install
After much installation followed by much reflection, depmod reports rafts and rafts of unknown symbols.
I seem to have taken a basic misstep somewhere and would appreciate being put back on track.
This is with Fedora 2.

You need to install updated tools module_init_tools & modutils. You can find them at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/modules.
This and what else to expect when upgrading to a 2.6 kernel can be found in this document : http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/docs/post-halloween-2.6.txt.
Hope this helps Steve
