unresolved symbols

[J.R. Lillard]

i've got a fresh install of debian woody on a beige powermac g3.  it 
comes with a 2.2.20-pmac kernel and modules installed.  but the 
mol-modules was only built for 2.2.19.  so i installed the 2.2.20 
version from people.debian.org/~jensen.  it installed the modules into 
/lib/modules/2.2.20/misc and i copied them to 
/lib/modules/2.2.20-pmac/misc so mol would find them.  mol wouldn't 
start and i don't remember the error message.

using apt-get, i installed kernel-image-2.4.18-powerpc, 
kernel-headers-2.4.18-powerpc, and the 2.4.18 version of mol and 
mol-modules.  again, i had to manually move the mol modules into place 
since they are installed into /lib/modules/2.4.18 instead of 
/lib/modules/2.4.18-powerpc.  this time i was able to start mol. 
however, i didn't have network support as sheep_net wouldn't load due to 
unresolved symbols.

thinking that i simply needed to compile mol from scratch to use it, i 
removed all the mol packages, downloaded the source, and compiled it. 
everything seemed to compile file (i think).  and a "make install" 
placed everything into /usr/local/lib/mol.  i started mol again but got 
the same results with sheep_net.

so here's my question.  this is the first time i've messed with linux on 
the powerpc.  i usually use an x86.  i am guessing that the problem lies 
with the mol modules always being configured for a kernel version like 
2.4.18 instead of 2.4.18-powerpc.  do i need to compile the kernel from 
scratch and then do the same with mol to get everything to work?  or is 
there a way to use only the debian packages to get everything running, 
including networking?
