Hi Natalia.  Thanks for your help.  I reinstalled the original YDL 
kernel and everything seems to work.  I must be something wrong with the 
experimental kernels.

(FWIW, I still haven't been able to successfully compile the 
experimental kernel.  depmod -a made no difference.)

Anway, things are (more or less) working now.

Cheers,

Ben
