unresolved symbol when I insmod nfs
 

Ah! Kernel module problems!

I'm trying to insert the module nfs on one of my RH9 boxes, but get unresolved symbols errors. I don't really know what they mean and was wondering if anyone could lend a hand? I've included the full errors (as output on the screen when I try run the command) I doubt that this was entirely necessary, I wasn't sure so decided to err on the safe side :)

I know it's a lot - sorry about that - can anyone lend a suggestion?

Is this a recompiled kernel? Why are you insmoding the nfs module, if its the default kernel, should be builtin already, no need to use the module.

No, still the default kernel. I was insmoding because when I did cat /proc/filesystems no nfs appeared (this is the course of action the tutorial I was following told me to take... How else can I start the nfs module on the client side? Can I just mount?

To answer my own question: yes I can! Why am I so brain dead sometimes? No replies please.
