Mmmm. I think it's because add-on modules are compiled for a given
kernel. They're not supposed to work with kernels for which they were not
compiled. That said, I've forced one to run with the -f switch and had it
work ok (a NIC module) for me - I think others will advise you against
trying this though, and if you have alot of modules it might not work for
you like it did for me anyway. So, assuming you've compiled your own
2.4.18 kernel, I'm pretty sure you'll need to compile a new set of modules
for it. If you didn't compile your own kernel, you'll need to do that
first, since I think to compile the modules you'll need to have kernel
headers available (they only appear in your system if you've compiled your
own kernel). Please wait for others to respond to your question too,
since I'm not any kind of big authority on this list.
