    I really don't know the solution, but I just want to tell you that I 
also got lots of unresolved symbols messages for lots of others modules 
while testing installation of machines using the 2.4.24 kernel image 
provided by the latest fai-kernels packages (1.6) available in FAI's site.

    Now I have what I want running with the default kernel image package 
from Woody (2.4.18). It works fine for what I need but if it doesn't fit 
for your needs you mos probably want to create your own kernel packages 
adapated for your needs. make-kpkg is your friend for this (available in 
the "kernel-package" package).
