Yes, it fixed it. =20

Maybe my understanding is a little off, but I thought that I could just
rebuild the modules and install them and run depmod and the new module
symbols would be in effect.  But that didn't work (same error).

So then I tried also a make bzImage and make install (which updates the
System.map, something that didn't get done with make modules_install).
It still would not load (same error).

Finally, I rebooted loading the new kernel and that fixed it.  No
comments needed, unless they are "what you did should have worked."

Much prefer modules for everything.  Kinda spoiled by the ability to
change configurations on the fly.

Something to think about...
