Known problem. Old problem. `initrd' support broke somewhere around
2.3.20. If you don't need it, just disable it -- works for me.

Check the list archives for a recent thread named "Kernels do not
compile anymore". A patch to get initrd working again was posted by
B.D. Elliot (sp?). I haven't tried this patch, since I don't need
initrd.

Also ... is there a *good* reason you are wanting to use MODVERSIONS
with development kernels? I ask only out of curiosity: typically it
doesn't buy you very much at this rate of development.
