I get this when compiling with make allmodconfig:

BUILD arch/x86/boot/bzImage
Setup is 16636 bytes (padded to 16896 bytes).
System is 4680 kB
CRC 88f70464
Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready (#2)
ERROR: "acpi_table_parse" [drivers/firmware/iscsi_ibft.ko] undefined!
make[3]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
make[2]: *** [modules] Error 2


on 64-bit Fedora Core 16.
