Did any hunks fail when you applied the modutils 2.1.19 patch to kernel
2.1.20? I noticed that happening when I applied it, and aborted. When I
applied it to 2.1.19, it applied without any problems. It didn't seem to
screw up the application of the 2.1.20 patch except for some "(offset:
-1)"'s and such, which don't hurt anything.
I'm running a modulized 2.1.20. No symbols in the modules fail to export
according to depmod, and everything is running smooth.
