Cant create module dependencies

[Hammurabi Mendes <hammurabi@persocom.com.br>]

I was using the default kernel of potato, but after I installed 2.4.0,
I can't build my modules.dep file for this kernel version, even
using "depmod -a". (The system automatically does that in the boot
process too).
In fact, the file is created, *empty*. I'm worried because I would need
that dependencies to use modprobe and run sound modules on demand.

thanks
