Hi Shaun. Well the kernel that is currently being used has no modules compiled 
with it (natively). I am actually not sure about whether or not the symbol 
problem exists, because I don't have a spare machine to fully test the 
installer on. Perhaps someone could test it and report on the findings? Also 
the /lib/modules/2.4.18bf24 has no module dependencies file. The original root 
disk i.e., 2.2.17 which had the potato debootstrap didn't even have a 
modules.dep file. So yes you will get modprobe errors while it looks for its 
dependencies, however it will be interesting to see whether or not the symbol 
problem surfaces.
