Stuart,

bin/depmod.pl looks for either 2.4 or 2.6 series kernels to determine
formating of /lib/modules/<kernel>/modules.dep.  The older 2.4 series
uses backslashes and blank lines formatting whereas the newer kernels
series doesn't.  Unfortunately depmod.pl determiens a 3.x series kernel
should use the old format which breaks modprobe/modinfo.

The attached patch addresses this by making a 2.4 series kernel "old"
and everything else "new".

Thanks Peter,

I'll get this applied.

BTW: did you get a chance to test the "distclean" patch I send you?

Regards, Stuart
