SubjectKernel 2.1.21 and genksyms 2.1.13
	Greetings!

I've just begun to play with the latest 2.1.x kernels here and
finally did get one to compile and work, at least partially.

There is a place in a Makefile that calls genksyms -k
but the -k option no longer seems to be valid and all genksyms does is
print a usage message showing the -g -w -q -d and -D options.

I checked the man page for genksyms and can't tell which option
should be used or where I might change the call in the Makefile. It looks
like the problem is in the linux/kernel/Makefile since that's the
directory the error occurs in.

I compiled modules 2.1.13 while running under kernel 2.1.21
(compiled with modules). However, all I get when doing a depmod -a is a
bunch of messages showing unresolved symbols in all my modules. I am
guessing this has to do with genksyms not having run properly earlier in
the compile.

Any help or ideas anyone might have as to how I can fix/resolve
this would be appreciated. I would like to be able to try the Hayes ESP
serial support since I have a Hayes ESP2 single port serial adapter.

I successfully compiled a 2.0.18 kernel without modules earlier
and am now compiling a 2.0.28 kernel with modules. I am still using
modules 2.1.13 since it is supposed to be backward compatible.

BTW, I use a couple of scripts to build my kernels which log
the start and stop times of each phase if anyone is interested.

Thanks in advance!
