Uncomment the depmod -a line in rc.sysinit.
Then:
cd /lib/modules ; rm -fr 2.0.18
cd /usr/src/linux
make modules ; make modules_install
run depmod -a by hand (as root) to see if the errors stopped.
reboot
The problem is that when you "make modules_install", it doesn't clear out
out the old modules in /lib/modules/kernel_version. Since you are re-making
modules for the same kernel version, and probably have set "Set version
information on all symbols for modules" to "No", depmod is kindly telling
you that these modules are screwed up. (given the current kernel/module
combo).
Good Luck!
