Knowing very little but ever willing to play...

For 1,2,4 it looks like a case of the module code containing the symbols mentioned but not defining them - or the modules are assembled in the wrong order.  The compiler doesn't worry because it thinks that the kernel is going to satisfy any still unmet dependencies (evil laugh comes from inside the box).

Can you confirm that the symbols are defined in the module source?  Run ctags or grep or whatever on the source code and see if this looks plausible?

However I don't recognise the "disagrees about the version of" error message.  That's new to me.

Regards, Max
