Notes: 
  Identical error occurs regardless of whether the kernel is compiled with or 
  without module versioning (I recompiled KGI after every kernel compile).
  
  None of the unresolved symbols above appear in /System.map or /proc/ksyms.
  
  When I compiled the standard VGA KGI driver, "unresolved symbol memmove" 
  appeared in addition to those listed above.
  
  "nm `find /lib/modules/2.2.12 -name \*.o` | grep outb" produces nothing, 
  only "nm kgicon.o | grep outb" produces output (         U outb).

Question: 
  What gives?
