Does this then make depmod happy?

Without it I get heaps of (eg)
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.5.48/kernel/zlib_deflate.o

I tried applying Adam Richter's module device ID tables patch without success.


#
# Loadable module support
#
CONFIG_MODULES=y
# CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD is not set
# CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD is not set
CONFIG_KMOD=y

Turning off KMOD, or turning on UNLOAD makes no difference.

depmod version 2.4.18  I tried the latest 2.4.21 as well.
