new kernel, old modules

[raphaello <raphaello-debianuser@altern.org>]

Hi, 
I downloaded a bin new kernel, from www.ppckernel.org (because mine couldn't recognize Ethernet card), but this kernel hasn't incorporated ppp and nfs modules, which I needs.

So I just copied the modules from the /lib/modules/[old]/ to /lib/modules/[new]/,
then depmod for updating dependencies, but:

macraf:~# depmod -a
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.19-pre4/kernel/net/ppp.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.19-pre4/kernel/net/ppp_async.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.19-pre4/kernel/net/ppp_generic.o


... and that doesn't allow me to load the modules:

macraf:~# modprobe ppp_async :

/lib/modules/2.4.19-pre4/kernel/net/ppp_generic.o: insmod ppp_async failed

Do I have something to do in /usr/src/linux-[number]/arch/ppc/kernel ?


But the modules are really here! :
macraf:~# modprobe -l | grep ppp
/lib/modules/2.4.19-pre4/kernel/net/ppp.o
/lib/modules/2.4.19-pre4/kernel/net/ppp_async.o
/lib/modules/2.4.19-pre4/kernel/net/ppp_deflate.o
/lib/modules/2.4.19-pre4/kernel/net/ppp_generic.o


Can I do something with the source of the old kernel?

If this info can be useful:
macraf:~# uname -a
Linux macraf 2.4.19-pre4 #1 Thu Mar 21 04:21:13 EST 2002 ppc unknown
