Yep, I saw this, too.

SunWave1>cd ../../../../../2.4.0-test13-pre4/kernel/drivers/char/drm/
SunWave1>nm tdfx.o | grep printk
U printk
U printk_R1b7d4074

But the strange thing is this:

SunWave1>depmod -e
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.0-test13-pre4/kernel/drivers/char/drm/tdfx.o
depmod: remap_page_range
depmod: _mmx_memcpy
depmod: __wake_up
depmod: mtrr_add
depmod: __generic_copy_from_user
depmod: schedule
