which symbols?
maybe they are defined in another module which must be loaded first?  ive
seen this happen before when the module dependencies dont quite work
right, causing modules to not get loaded in the correct order.

if this is the case, you can find the correct module, and make sure it
gets loaded first via /etc/modules or some such other mechanism.

for 2.4 try something like:

# cd /lib/modules/{kernel-version}/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter
# for i in `ls -a`; do echo $i; nm $i |grep $SYMBOL_NAME | grep T; done

substitue $SYMBOL_NAME above with the missing symbol name.


of course its equally possible that the symbol exists in no compiled
modules or programs.
