It turns out I was adding the web100 patch (http://www.web100.org) to 
the 2.6.21 kernel and that's what causes the symbol resolving problem 
below. Adding the corresponding version of the web100 patch to the 
2.6.20 kernel makes this problem appear there as well. On fresh 
versions of the kernel, this problem does not occur. At the moment, 
it's not possible to have a current kernel that contains both drbd 
and web100.
