It's not a matter of buggy, but kernel modules are dependent on things that may be changed from one version of the kernel to the next. There is a selection in the kernel configuration that allows one to turn off module dependency checking, and this can be done succesfully if one is just rebuilding a kernel to compile in some functions that may otherwise by modules (e.g. SCSI support). If one is patching a kernel, and the patch changes any kernel structures, then all modules should be rebuilt against the modified kernel sources to be sure that all modules use the same structures.
