[eepro100] Need Serious Help w/ eepro100 Driver/card

[Infinity2]

Well, I recompiled the kernel last night with 2.2.18.  It now sees the NIC
fine.  just have lots of other stuff to clean up now.  got any ideas about
these kinds of errors.  I'm looking around the net so see what i can find.
if not, no worry, it's another realm.  thank you so much for your help.  you
helped a newb very much.

errors now:
#modprobe: can't locate module char-major-4
#sysctl:error:'kernel.sysrq' is an unknown key
#kernel:sybol table has incorrect version number
#kernel:cannot find map file
#kernel:no module sysbols loaded
#depmod:unresolved symbols in   blah blah (lots of modules listed)

Thanks!

Rob
