After applying this and leaving in place the changes provided by David S.
Miller (Message-Id: <199611191322.IAA04915@jenolan.caipgeneral> in this
same thread), the ppp, slhc, aha1542, st, scsi_mod, msdos, fat and sound
modules--all the ones I've tried--work, the lp, floppy and 3c509 modules
load without errors, and "depmod -a" gives no errors. I'm using an
Am5x86-P75 CPU.
