The fast list of instructions is:

 - mv /lib/modules/x.x.x/ to /lib/modules/x.x.x.OLD
   (x.x.x is your kernel version)
 - make menuconfig
 - make dep
 - make clean
 - make zlilo
 - make modules
 - make modules_install
 - depmod -a

And edit /etc/conf.modules for those other errors to be like:

#alias scsi_hostadapter 53c7,8xx
#alias eth0 3c509
alias net-pf-4 off
alias net-pf-5 off
