can't boot stock kernel-image-2.4.22

[Jan Pfeifer <jan@ip2.com.br>]

hi :)

i've been using my own compiled kernels for the last couple of years.
After getting somewhat tired of compiling them, i tried the stock
kernels. But they just won't boot, looping with a message like (it
doesn't log the message):

"insmod: can't find module
/lib/module/2.4.22-1-k7/kernel/net/unix/unix.o"

the unix.o module is on the disk and on the corresponding initrd.img
file. Same thing happen on 2.4.21-5-k7 kernel.

does anybody has any ideas about what could be happening ?

btw, if i stick with the stock kernel, which would be the best/easiest
way to get along the NVidia driver module ?

best regards and thanks in advance for any help,

jan
