upgrade from 2.4 to 2.6: unknown symbols

["Monique Y. Mudama" <spam@bounceswoosh.org>]

I finally bit the bullet and upgraded from 2.4.24-3 to 2.6.10-6.  I used
exactly my normal kernel upgrade procedure, including copying over the
old .config and running `make oldconfig`.  I didn't even bother with
`make menuconfig`.  I also installed module-init-tools.

Amazingly enough (to me, who always dorks up at least one thing every
kernel compile), it booted just fine.  Except for ... well ... all
these pesky unresolved symbols, seeming related to nfsd.

What do I need to fix in my config to get rid of 'em?

I have to say, after all of my fear, I'm now running 2.6 with udev,
and it was amazingly painless.  I don't know why I was so scared.  I
guess I just fear change.

Here's the relevant part of dmesg:
