no sure what is going on with your kernel but try to recompile it if it gives you the same errors try the last 2.6.8 mm kernel , when i tried 2.6.9 some days ago it also gave some odd errors with modules so i went back.
also try to do a depmod -a , modules-update as root to see if solves anything.

Could you tell me why it required some fumbling so I can improve it for next time?

I just didnt understand how to make it work (as far as what directory to DL it to and how to untar it) other than that worked great and since that is all my fault you really dont have anything to improve on that I know.
Thanks again!
