[ENBD] depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in kernel 2.4.20

[JonaZ A7V]

First of all, I'd like to apologise for my lack of feedback the other day.
I went nuts waiting for the darn thing to compile the kernel and decidec to 
do a clean install under vmware in my laptop, which even being an virtual 
machine is WAY faster =)
Don't ask me how, I even got the dependencies problem in 2.4.18.
What the heck, decided to compile the kernel without MODVERSIONS.
All fine in 2.4.20
Btw, I'll be using Raid5 on top off ENBD, so will give feedback on your 
raid5 question

I'm basically building a machine with 4 HDDs in raid5 and then will export 
the raid5 volume with enbd and make a new raid5 volume out of 10 enbd 
exports. This has been tested already on 2.4.18.

Basically will have 50 machines giving me 4TBs of storage, disk redundant at 
machine level and machine redundant at volume level =)

My thanks for all the help.
