This is a common problem most people encounter on re-compiling a
kernel.
When you re-compile move your /lib/modules/2.0.XX directory out of
the way before you do a 'make modules_install' so that a complete
new modules directory is created and not a combination of both the
old and new modules.
From the well documented source tree
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/modules.txt:
---------------
When you have made the kernel, you create the modules by doing:
make modules
This will compile all modules and update the linux/modules directory.
In this directory you will then find a bunch of symbolic links,
pointing to the various object files in the kernel tree.
Now, after you have created all your modules, you should also do:
make modules_install
---------------
So you have a new list of linux/modules which don't agree with the
new modules you have.
Just remove the directory /usr/modules/2.0.XX and from /usr/src/linux
do a 'make modules_install' again and you should be all set.
