Rebuilding mol-kmods

[Jamie Maynard]

There seems to be a number of bugs and problems with YDL 2.3 out of the box.
What you really should do is download the recent and complete 2.4.19 Kernel
Source and rebuild your kernel for your machine and then rebuild your
MOL-Kmods package with the new kernel installed and running.

The YDL 2.3 kernel is an early pre-version of the 2.4.19 kernel and in my
testing wasn't as stable as it possibly could be.
