Well this might be the reason. Sorry, I'm not able to check because
the box in question went today into production. I use to compile
kernels without modules (for security reasons) and as I said I
was successful here. (By the way - would this mean I could remove
modutils completely?)

Hmm, this might work but I would regard it as RC bug because
kernel-image-2.4.19-sun4u is not installable in stable. It should
depend from a working modutils package and this package has to go
into stable.
I would like to file a bug report if noone instists.
Kind regards
Andreas.
