Thanks for this. After further consideration, removing the
lines from module.h does not help many modules fail to load.

Sorry to mislead. Unfortunately I have not yet got 2.6.12
either vanilla or core, single or smp to build and run on my
5305 Digital Server 5000. Also unfortunate is that it is
nearly impossible to tell exactly what is failing as
the machine reboots rather than just halting making it
difficult to read the error screens.
