Seems the kver stuff from the original kernel build is the issue. I was
getting the same error here on a clean kernel install:
rm -f /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modules/*
make dep
make vmlinux
make modules
seems to do the trick
rpm -e kernel-source and rpm -i:
or more traditionally:
make mrproper
make menuconfig
make dep
make vmlinux
make modules
also seems to work
BTW - I switch back and forth from the VT to X fine using XFree - I think
when running runlevel 5 though, it kills your X session.
