wrong mol-kmods after compile

[Bertrand]

It seems to me that you've installed and run 2.4.20 but compiled 
mol-kmods against your initial 2.4.18 sources or header files (they are 
included in the sources but some distros install them in a different 
package and at a different place). So you just did nothing but compile 
mol-kmods for 2.4.18.

Maybe you should look for some kernel-headers package in your distro or 
look at the /usr/src/linux (if it exists) directory.

You will have to uninstall the kernel headers package of your new 
kernel (it may complain about dependancies but it won't hurt if you 
install new headers) or replace the /usr/src/linux directory by the 
sources of your 2.4.20.

And then rebuild mol-kmods.
