Huh? I've got modutils 2.4.15 and it works with kernel 2.4.20 with no
problems that I can see. Before that I was using modutils 2.4.6, also
with 2.4.20. That worked too.
How did you do your kernel upgrade? If you compiled it by hand did you
get the sequence of makes correct, and did you remember to do make
modules_install as root? Do you have either the kernel-headers-2.4.20
installed or links from /usr/src/linux and
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.20 to the top of the kernel source tree?
(Not sure if you actually need both links).
If you did a Debian-style kernel upgrade, sorry, no ideas, I've always
done it by hand. Someone else probably knows though!
