the only unresolved symbol that depmod gives me is:
[~] Yes, my master? >sudo depmod -a
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.0-test11/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.o
which will probably lead to another posting :)

i am not sure what you mean by 'cleaned or removed the
configuration of the 2.4.0-test11'
with each recompile of the kernel, i
mv /lib/modules/2.4.0-test11 /lib/modules/2.4.0-test11.old
however, when i do this the rio500.o file gets moved along
with it. when i issue make modules_install, the rio500.o file
doesnt get recreated in the new /lib/modules/2.4.0-test11.
i am guesssing that my poor understanding of modules is starting
to show, because I am very lost at this point.
thanks for all your help. -cjm
