Thanks for the tip.   I made additional progress by reviewing:
 http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/post-halloween-2.5.txt
In particular, the specific problem I was having went away once I
revisited the "Input layer" settings, a truly baroque interface in 2.5
(I used "make oldconfig" to kick things off - perhaps that's a bad idea).

I installed the modutils and module-init-utils; running
"/sbin/depmod --version" reports "depmod version 2.4.22".

But, I still don't have a working 2.5 kernel. Sigh.
After repeatedly removing modules that wouldn't compile, I got
"make bzImage" and "make modules" to work.  However,
"make modules_install" produces a sea of error messages from
the new depmod. Here are just a few lines, which shows that things
are seriously busted (e.g., it can't find kmalloc).

Suggestions? Currently I'm wondering if I need to use a gcc < 3.2, but
that may not be the issue.  Thanks everyone for your thoughts.
