cannot load ipv4.o

[David Taylor <knet mailandnews com>]

I hope someone here can help...

I am making an initial ramdisk.  I am using kernel version 2.2.12.  I
have compiled all the appropriate modules (network card, sound, ipv4,
etc).  I have gotten as far as the machine loading the sound and network
drivers, and then determining its settings using bootpc.  However, calls
to gethostbyaddr are failing, ping is reporting that icmp is an unknown
protocol, and I cannot use tftp.

I had a look at the modules and found that ipv4.o was not loaded.  I
tried to manually load the module using insmod ipv4.o, but it reported:

"ipv4.o: couldn't find the kernel version the module was compiled for"

I then tried insmod -f ipv4.o and received the same error message.

Can anyone please help me resolve this problem?
