I got the same problem. I need to compile a new kernel because of my mainboard not supported by 2.4.19. I compile the kernel, but alway fails in compiling the modules.
My time is precious right now, so I still don't know if change my OS to Debian (I got it in my laptop and I haven't had a single problem) or just waiting for ML 9.1 to be stable.
