depmod outputs "unresolved symbols ..." after recomiling kernel with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=Y



I use debian (kernel 2.2.13, libc6 2.1.2) with module support enabled. When building custom kernels (with kernel-package) I set CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=N. Everyting went good until I've decided to try 3com driver 3c90x from <http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/nic/linuxdownload.htm>. As driver's documentation reads its version is lower than 2.2.13 and so I have to recompile the kernel with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=Y (Am I right?). After doing so and running depmod -a (never mind at boot time or from comand line) I get a lot of messages: ... Unresolved symbols ... No modules is loading, of course. (After recompiling the kernel with the only changing CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=N everything works fine again)
I looked through all the FAQs, HOWTOs having to do with the question, debian-user mailing list archive, but found nothing to explain what I'm doing wrong


Can anybody help me, please.

Thank you, Mikhail.
