If your module-init-tools are older than 0.9.8, then this message
is expected. depmod doesn't find GPL only symbols. Fixed in 0.9.8.

I was on 0.9.9pre infortunately, but thanks much for the suggestion. I've
been keeping reasonably current, in hopes of solutions to other issues. I
suspect that this is caused by having CRC32 built-in instead of as a
module or vice-versa. I just ran out of time to test all possible
combinations.

[BUG] 2.5.59 Same problems as 55..58

Same old, I said I'd try kernels newer than 2.5.57 and I did. Still 
doesn't work.

  Having the feature freeze for Linux 2.5 on Hallow'een is appropriate,
since using 2.5 kernels includes a lot of things jumping out of dark
corners to scare you.
