Unresolved symbols usualy indicate a bug or a faulty installation process. The former will likely be fixed by moving to a more recent kernel (all kernels to 2.2.18 have a *major* security problem, you should move to 2.2.19 anyway.) The latter can't be fixed unless I know exactly what you're doing, and even then *I* won't be much help, as I avoid modules at all cost. When building a custom kernel, I prefer to compile in everything I need when not using it on an extremely memory-tight system. This also does away with the modules, and the problems they tend to bring with them (such as your unresolved symbols.)
