Yeah - it has worked: using a make-kpkg buildpackage, then installing the new 
kernel source, kernel headers and finally kernel image still produced 
unresolved symbols, but the reboot (when I think I read a make depmod is run) 
rebooted properly and there were no kernel panics.

However, there does seem to still be a problem with the module: running an 
'update-modules' followed by 'modconf' lists NO modules being present. I 
assume therefore that the module system has altered slightly (though this 
worked under 2.4.0-test5). I am using the lastest (2.3.19-1) version of 
modutils, but this problem won't go away. However, the modules are still 
being loaded properly, but I simply have to edit the /etc/modules file by 
hand. 

Does anyone else have this problem? And if so, has anyone managed to resolve 
it?

Oh, and of course, may I thank everyone who responded to my last problem and 
helped me fix it - thanks are indeed due.
