[plug] RH6.2 Kernel problem

[NetRanger]

I've had this problem before when I tried to compile a 2.2.15 kernel, until
I found out that you must have the supported features in the kernel in order
for the modules to load successfully. eg, if you enabled a particular sound
card driver as a module then you must have sound supported in the kernel. If
not, then you are going to have problems of 'unresolved symbols'. Hope this
helps.
