Dan,

Your problem in compiling the 2.4.10 kernel is related to this line
of your posting:

> depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in 
>/lib/modules/2.4.4-ac9/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o

depmod should NOT be using /lib/modules/2.4.4-ac9 when you are compiling
2.4.10, and the subsequent make modules_install.

It should be using /lib/modules/2.4.10/....

You need to make sure your following the recommended kernel compilation
instructions from the correct location!

Are you in the /usr/src/linux-2.4.10 directory when you do the steps:

make menuconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install

Make sure the "make modules" step completes with no compile errors, before
doing the "make modules_install".

even i'm facing the same error for depmod in make modules_install. all paths are correct and make modules does complete without errors but with warnings.
