/lib/modules/2.4.26/modules.dep looks ok and seems to work, but I don't know 
how it's created... neither the lfssystem depmod nor the compiled depmod 
binary from modutils package don't work on my host linux, of course it works 
after you booted the image... and the modules.dep file on the cd is just 80KB 
big, a 'depmod -an' gives a 300KB size file...
