Finally got 2.4.20 working!

So I was having big problems with undefined symbols in my newly built kernel modules when I ran depmod — I finally figured out how to solve this problem just now. Apparently System.map isn’t being generated correctly any more — possibly because of my version of gcc or something, but anyway, I booted single-user into the newly compiled kernel after building it and pointing lilo at it. I had already built and installed the modules (install gave shitloads of undefined symbols during depmod). Now, in single-user mode, I did a

cat /proc/ksyms > /boot/System.map-2.4.20 [which was already linked to /boot/System.map]

And now low and behold, it all works!
