nope - dammit.  it's something else.  i'd changed two options rather than
one - one of them being "preemptible".  the other one i _think_ i changed
was kernel module versioning.

i'm getting insmod errors: invalid module format(-1): Exec format error
and:
"disagrees about version of symbol struct_module".

I'm having the same problem with 2.6.11.4 on ixp42x.
insmod fails. I've even updated to the latest snapshot to work around it,
still no happiness

I turned off load all symbs for debugging, and finally I get a insmod that
works in busybox, with latest cvs and 2.6.11.6 linux.
