There's a setting in xconfig (when you configure your kernle
build) that says something about putting kernel versions
into your modules. Did you rebuild the modules on the
surrogate machine and copy them as well?
It's a very good idea to run "make xconfig" and actually
check out all those help options next to each item. They
are by far the most well written, and concise explainations
I've seen in a long time.
