[lug] Unresolved Symbols

[Justin]

I did not backup the old modules, I removed the kernel packages so 
the /lib/modules/2.4.2/ was gone. I did move the new System.map over 
after I compiled the 2.4.5 kernel. Right now I'm just back to the stock 
setup with all the 2.4.2-2 kernel packages and no more 2.4.5 stuff 
anywhere. Here is what my /boot and /lib/modules looks like if it makes 
any difference:
