This might be the same one I noticed some time ago (older kernel).
When you compile a new kernel with the same number (2.0.27 in this case),
the new modules go to the same modules directory. However, the
installation does not remove the old modules from the same
directory. If you compile some module into the new kernel, the
same module is both in kernel and in modules. It seems that
the kernel gets confused in this case.
