Kernel won't compile ~ Non-KDE related

I know this isn't KDE related but I'm pretty desperate for a solution and so far the other 4 forums and all the websites I've tried haven't been able to fix this, so hopefully someone on here can help me out.

I've been trying to update my kernel to 2.4.22 in Redhat 9, and everything goes smoothly until the make install or make modules_install command (happens with both). This is the last chunk of my output:

Root device is (3, 66)
Boot sector 512 bytes.
Setup is 4780 bytes.
System is 898 kB
sh -x ./install.sh 2.4.22 bzImage /usr/src/linux-2.4.22/System.map ""
+ '[' -x /root/bin/installkernel ']'
+ '[' -x /sbin/installkernel ']'
+ exec /sbin/installkernel 2.4.22 bzImage /usr/src/linux-2.4.22/System.map ''
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/crypto/autoload.o
depmod: crypto_alg_lookup
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/crypto/proc.o
depmod: crypto_alg_sem
depmod: crypto_alg_list
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.22/arch/i386/boot'

-----------------------------------------------

I'm completely lost ~ Does anybody know anything about this?

Thanks!

It sounds like you probably didn't move your old modules directory before installing your newly compiled modules.

try this

move /lib/modules/2.4.22 to something like /lib/modules/2.4.22.old and go back to your kernel source tree and do
'make modules_install' again. This should clear up that problem.
