This is due to kernel/modutil incompatibility. There was report in
debian-devel ML. In short, stable kernel changed it header file. So
binutils compiled with older 2.4 kernel header file will not function
properly. Your options are one of followings:
1) remove offending module by "rm" and use modutils
2) Wait for newer binutil in unstable and install it.
You are using "testing" so expect some minor glich like this.
Cheers.
