I *think* this is in the FAQ. If not, it should be since I've asked
it before. When you compile your kernel, you _must_ ask for versioned
modules.

Not exactly. egcs fixed some of the things that were broken in gcc that
the kernel depended on being broken. The 2.1 kernel development fixed
these problems, but no-one wanted to do the same to 2.0. There is a web
page somewhere where someone is collecting patches but I'd be loathe to
trust it. For 2.0 use gcc 2.7.2.N.
