Kernel modules were broke in 2.1.19 and the only temp compilation fix was to not include the option for mod_versions. I just talked to Linus (at USENIX) and he told me that he has the patch to fix this and a few other things. Of course that means he is also here in Anaheim and therefore, it will be a few days before 2.1.21 is going to be released.
