Finally some diagnostics!

It is amazing the number of people who think that problems can be
diagnosed based on vague statements like "unresolved symbols" with no
details.

Whenever you see _R__ver_ in a kernel symbol it means that the Makefile
stuffed up the symbol versioning. The only guaranteed fix is to remove
everything and recompile from scratch. You have to use make mrproper
to remove the broken version data but make mrproper deletes .config so
save that first.
mv .config ..
make mrproper
mv ../.config .
make oldconfig dep clean
Then compile and install kernel/modules.
