Yes.

I have these options:

[*] Enable loadable module support
[*]   Module unloading
[*]     Forced module unloading
[ ]   Module versioning support (NEW)
[ ]   Source checksum for all modules (NEW)
[*]   Automatic kernel module loading

I just rebuilt the kernel again to be sure I really built it with those 
options.  There was no change.  See this output:

Any other ideas?  Thanks for your help.
