Workqueues and the Nvidia driver

I have successfully compiled the latest Nvidia driver with kernel
2.5.44 on a heavily modified RH 7.2 (original compiler) box after
applying the patch posted to this list previously. However it
can't be loaded because insmod bombs out saying that, IIRC,
create_workqueue, flush_workqueue, and a couple of other similar
symbols are unresolved.
nm vmlinux shows that these symbols exist and this is (obviously)
reflected in the System.map. However, the proc interface doesn't
show them. I use modutils-2.4.6.
I'm not familiar with the internals but IMHO, this may be a
problem with the kernel and not only with the Nvidia driver
(hence, the reason for posting here).
Any advice/info would be appreciated.
TIA,
Ashwin.
