[Linux] boot error messages -fixed, sort of

[Stephen]

Found the Answer in a mini-how-to:

Problem sometimes happens when you reconfigure a kernel w/o changing
versions.
Sometimes old modules from the previous config get left hanging around
in
/lib/modules/x.y.z/
The solution is to delete /lib/modules/x.y.z and do another 'make
modules_install'

Tried it and it got rid of all the previous unresolved symbol errors.
But life is not perfect yet, it left me with a new one for
'/net/wanpipe.o'
ARRGGHHH!
