This is very strange. How come doing distclean and recompiling is giving errors in totally unrelated file!! I recommend you to download a fresh copy, do the changes you mentioned (exporting symbol etc), then do make xconfig, make dep and make bzImage. I was also running in same problem and I was succesfully able to solve this and also I did not need to download fresh copy. > > > > # cat /proc/ksyms | grep sys_mount > > > c015ed10 sys_mount_R__ver_sys_mount > > > # cat /proc/ksyms | grep sys_rename > > > c01518b0 sys_rename_R__ver_sys_rename > > Certainly your problem lies here.

And I am sure, definitely this is your problem. Once you get rid of __ver_sys_ and get a _Rsmp_<some checksum>, you are done.
