I don't believe you can compile the mol modules statically into the
kernel. But if you recompiled mol with your new kernel you can get
rid of the version discrepancies! And about those kernel patches, I
have always applied them to my kernel before compiling it. (I have a
603ev so I have to) and have had no problems. I think it is good
either way.
