Kernel modules problem

[Jeronimo Pellegrini <pellegrini@mpcnet.com.br>]

Hello.

I've just used make-kpkg to build kernel 2.4.6-pre3, and after the
.deb was built, I installed it (no problems there). But when I reboot,
depmod complains about all modules, saying it can't resolve them; for instance:

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.6-pre3/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o

The modules are in the package, though:

:: dpkg -c kernel-image-2.4.6-pre3_c.1_i386.deb |grep  ip_tables.o
-rw-r--r-- root/root     17352 2001-06-19 13:59:50 ./lib/modules/2.4.6-pre3/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o

socrates netfilter:: ll ip_tables.o
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          17k Jun 19 13:59 ip_tables.o
socrates netfilter:: pwd
/lib/modules/2.4.6-pre3/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter

And 

I see that the depmod package has no bugs filed, and the bugs filed
against kernel-package don't seem to be related to this specific
problem (but I could be wrong, of course).

Am I missing something? Is there some other package that may be
causing the problem. I'm actually pretty sure it's something wrong
with my setup, since I saw nobody else complaining about that.

I've tried to build and install the packages with both potato and sid
(this is a sid box with a chrooted potato), and I also tried to boot
both the potato and sid boxes with those kernel packagees, but no
luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
J.
