[PlanetCCRMA] Kernel Version Bug?

[Edward Faulkner]

I've cleared up the unresolved symbols problem.  It seems I was using
an old version of apt.  I don't know why that would cause the problem,
but it did.  

FYI, all the modules still show the wrong version number with
"modprobe -V", but they load fine.
