hi,

i've installed RedHat 4.0 and everything is OK. I now want to customise the
kernel to suit my environment (and trim the fat). i've read the kernel
HOWTO and modules.txt

i go into /usr/src/linux (2.0.18)
make mrproper
make config (make selections based on my system)
make depend
make clean
make zdisk (new kernel goes to floppy)
make modules
make modules_install

when i test the new kernel by booting from the floppy, i get a whole bunch
of error mesgs from insmod (too many to list here, but mainly of
"unresolved symbol" type).

even though i get these errors, i can still use kernel modules, such as
Network and Sound - so, it seems that the new kernel is OK.

how can i make the nasty error mesgs go away? there is about two screenfuls
of guff that mess up the pretty boot messages.

any help appreciated,
