	This is a problem with the newly changed behavior of depmod
 and friends, who suddenly stopped liking non .o files in
 /lib/modules/<version>.

	Newer versions of kernel package handle that right. For now,
 try: 
% find /lib/modules/2.0.30/ -type f -exec file {} \; | grep -v 'ELF 32-bit'
/lib/modules/2.0.30/modules.dep: ASCII text

	Anything other than modules.dep showing up is something that
 depmod can no longer tolerate. Remove those files, get a new
 kernel-package, and things should be fine.
