Oddly enough, I recompiled modutils & insmod/modprobe are working now.
Unfortunately, autofs no longer works. It was staying up for hours on end,
but now it's dying after a couple minutes again. Dammit.
BTW, you should probably upgrade your kernel to 2.0.35 using the sources on
vger. There are several fixes in 2.0.35 that make things a little more
stable.
