I would like to help clear up the module problem in the linux kernel
(2.5.51). The problem I am getting is when I do "make install" there is
a report back that some symbols are unresolved. What I need to know is
how these symbols are supposed to be exported? I can grep the files to
find the symbols and correct this problem.

Can you try with the patch at
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/davej/patches/2.5/2.5.51/
and let me know if that fixes things ?

It does not appear to be doing so. The version of 2.5.51 that I have is
the bitkeeper version that I grab via bk.
Here is the output of "make install" for agpart.ko:

I grepped for "remap_page_range" found

System.map:c0413a40 R __ksymtab_remap_page_range
Binary file vmlinux matches
I found that in kernel/ksym.c at line 108 is the line that is suppose to
export the symbol:
EXPORT_SYMBOL(remap_page_range);
