Are kernel-2.4.20-31.9.athlon.rpm and kernel-source-2.4.20-31.9.i386.rpm
compatible. I have tried to compile a modem driver and I get unresolved
symbol errors.

Is there a kernel-source-2.4.20-31.9.athlon.rpm?

I am running an AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+ and a MOL stock RH9 distro.

Any and all help appreciated.

Yes, that's the source used to build the kernel

No

Provide information, what modem driver are you attempting to compile, what
are the symbol errors?

The only thing I can suggest is to try again, it builds cleanly on my
laptop, just followed the directions in the readme.txt file.

You might want to (as root) from the kernel-source location;

Edit the Makefile and remove 'custom' from the EXTRAVERSION line then run
'make mrproper' and copy your boot/config-2.4.20-31.9 to the same location
as the Makefile; cp /boot/config-2.4.20-31.9 .config

Now at the location where intel-537EP_secure-2.60.80.0 files reside try
again. First type 'make uninstall', to clean the failed attempt, then
start again. This time watch the output of 'make 537' and make sure you
see something similar to;

Module precompile check
Current running kernel is: 2.6.9-rc1-bk13
(Notice that the running kernel version here should match the ending)

/lib/modules...   autoconf.h exists
diff: /boot/vmlinuz.autoconf.h: No such file or directory
autoconf.h matches running kernel
diff: /boot/vmlinuz.version.h: No such file or directory
version.h matches running kernel
2.6.9-rc1-bk13

And Good Luck!!!!
