Compiled fine.  Booted fine, except depmod complained about the unresolved
symbols in the appletalk module.
The problem I found was kerneld didn't seem to unload unused modules.
'insmod -k some-module' and it just stays there until you manually 'rmmod'
it.  Same if kerneld loaded the module itself.  Also had a problem loading
the aha152x.o module (complained about invalid options), and the scsi_mod.o
module would never unload even manually (complained about device or
resource being busy).  Went back to 2.1.17 and modules-2.1.13. and
everything returned to normal.  This was on an x86 system.  Thanks.

Roy
