Well something is going on because the module libraries are different.

I just reinstalled everything on that system and just did a `make modules`
again. I did not dare do `make modules_install` yet. I will clone
the /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358 directory first so I have something
to copy from the recovery disk.

No. I did nothing but what I reported. I never even looked at
the makefile contents.


I think it's a `insmod` problem. It did some kind of compare
which looks okay to the eye, but barfs.
