There is no need to be so defensive... 

How are you building your mol modules? And how are you building your
kernel?


- CD into your kernel source tree
- You can get a copy of previous kernel configs from /boot  .. copy the
latest working one to ".config" in the top dir of the kernel source.
- make menuconfig (Or whatever you prefer..) 
- use make-kpkg (Read the docs in /usr/doc/kernel-package) to build your
modules , and kernel image.

EG:  
  fakeroot make-kpkg kernel_image
  fakeroot make-kpkg modules

Then you should get packages like this in your parent dir.

kernel-image-2.4.19-pre6-ben0_10.00.Custom_powerpc.deb
mol-modules-2.4.19-pre6-ben0_0.9.61+10.00.Custom_powerpc.deb
