This shows some unresolved symbols because the newer pcilynx.o requires
i2c support (some shared bit-banger) and, even though it was configured,
no i2c stuff got built!

FYI, this is an un-patched kernel right "out-of-the-box",
 linux-2.4.20.tar.gz

I just did:

cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.20.tar.gz
cp ../linux-2.4.18/.config .
make oldconfig  # Answered a few new questions
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install

Why is the government concerned about the lunatic fringe? Think about it.
