MINOR issue. I'm getting this under -pre8 and -rc1. Not sure about
earlier, I only started enabling this at -pre8. Maybe since -pre6?

# depmod -ae
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4/kernel/drivers/char/drm/sis.o
depmod: sis_free
depmod: sis_malloc

My .config is at http://web.irridia.com/info/linux/config".

I'm taking a look at the VM tweak ASAP.

Thanks,
