Having trouble with make modules_install

I am trying to upgrade from kernel 2.4.19 to 2.6 on a Dell inspiron 4000. I think I have something enabled as a module and it is creating conflicts when I try to install it. make bzImage and make modules works great, but when I do make modules_install it exits with an error, I will paste the last few lines of code to see if you guys may be able to recognize something. About halfway through, it starts to have ***Unresolved symbols errors like every 3rd or 4th line. At the very bottom it says this:

depmod: unregister_8022_client
depmod: register_8022_client
depmod: register_snap_client
depmod: unregister_snap_client
make: *** [_modinst_post] error1

If you need anything else, I would be glad to type it.

thanks,

Try:
make clean
make mrproper
drop in your .config

make dep bzImage modules modules_install

and make sure you don`t have a partial
build installed in
/lib/modules/2.6.kernel.you.are.building

Although never with a Linux Kernel build, I have been screwed by caches in the past as well.
