Attempting to build and install 3.0 from source on a RHEL 4.1 system:

Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.9-5.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jan 5 19:29:47
EST 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

grub.conf looks like this:

title Xen 3.0 / XenLinux 2.6
   root (hd0,2)
   kernel /xen-3.0.gz console=vga dom0_mem=254000 noreboot
   module /vmlinuz-2.6-xen root=/dev/sda5 ro console=tty0 debug 3
   module /initrd-2.6.16.13-xen.img

At boot, the following errors appear for each module that is loaded,
followed by a kernel panic at the end:

Loading <module>.ko module
<module>: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module
insmod: error inserting '/lib/<module>.ko': -1 Invalid module format
ERROR: /bin/insmod exited normally

Thinking that the incorrect module versions were being pulled into the
boot image, I tried to force the correct symbols and module versions
using this suggestion:

$ depmod -F /boot/System.map-2.6.16-xen 2.6.16-xen
$ mkinitrd -o /boot/xen.img 2.6.16-xen

Same errors regardless of how I build the boot image.  Suggestions?
