In order to load the correct kernel modules when using the mercurial
tree. Issue a "make unload" and "make load" with superuser rights.
This should take care of the unknown symbols.
If not, you're building against the wrong source tree. Issue a "make
distclean" command and rebuild the kernel to correct this.
