Well, I just recompiled te whole kernel with modversions. And the
modules.

I was remarkably unsuccessful in getting anything to load via modprobe,
and depmod was very unhappy.

Maybe modversions is broken in 2.4.20? The System.map shows normal
symbols too:

  c0100000 A _text
  c0100000 t startup_32
  c01000cb t checkCPUtype
  c0100159 t is486
  c0100168 t is386
  c01001c9 t L6
  c01001cb t ready

But I compiled it with MODVERSIONS.

  #
  # Loadable module support
  #
  CONFIG_MODULES=y
  CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y
  CONFIG_KMOD=y


I'll try one more time ...
