I mean, after all, you can still boot to the old kernel with LinuxOLD, can't you? Or is your machine that uptime-critical?
No, I'm just worried because I have unplugged everything on it (monitor, keyboard etc). So the only way I will find out something is wrong is if it doesn't come up after a couple of minutes (and then I have to spend some time plugging stuff in etc).
Basically, I'm just trying to understand the reason why I get the missing symbols... (it would be more reassuring if I understood the why:-)
I'm a little late in the thread, but I think I am having the same problem. Last night I compiled a vanilla 2.4.23 kernel on my Sid workstation to then install it on my Woody server. Before doing the compile, I moved my /usr/bin/gcc symlink to point from gcc-3.3 to point to gcc-2.95. However, when I installed the resulting .deb, I got unresolved symbols in ass the modules. dpkg asked if I wanted to abort, which I did.
I ended up just compiling on the target machine, which took close to forever (it's a Pentium Pro 200). Once I did that, I just installed, rebooted and everything worked great. BTW, this server is also headless, which is why I was concoerned.
