Subject: Kernel unable to load modules

Hi all folks!

I hope I'm posting this to the right list:
Recently, I wanted to set up my box to kernel 2.4.20 and I built a kernel as I
made it many times before. But from now on, my kernels are not longer able to
load modules. Meanwhile I' ve built kernels with most of gcc versions (2.95.3
- 3.3) and linux versions 2.4.18 - 20, but without any success. The modutils
are up to date (gentoo .ebuild) and I removed the modules dir and ran 'make
mrproper'.

This error I get trying to load a module:
***

While booting the kernel, following problems ocurr:

That's all I can report, if you need my .config file for autopsy, please ask!
;) (But I don't think that something is wrong there)

Thank you for helping people!

With gcc 3.3, i have some errors, during the compilation, thus i stay with
my gcc 3.2.x

About the .ebuild of Gentoo, there are not problems with them.

Yes, with gcc3.3, some errors ocurred here also. But I 've tried it with
2.95.3, which I used for my running kernel, and it doesn't work. That's why
suppose this problems don't belong to the compiler...
