A question about locally compiled modules



I'm trying to get the spca50x.o webcam driver working on myn wifes Debian
machine. Both it, and my machine have locally compiled 2.4.23 kerneels.
My machine has an ATI AllInWonder card for TV acces, and er's has a WinTV card.

On my machine, if i compile the spca50x.o module, and insmod it the webcam works.
On her's it does not. e basic problem seems to be the order of insertion it 
looks like the problem is order of omserion.Looks like I need to load
the spca50x.o module before the bttv. No roblem, you think, just put
it in /etc/modules before bttv, right? Well to do that I need to get
the spca50x.o module installed. And therin lies the dificluty. make install
which invokes depmod fails with unresolved symbols. Yet I can insmod
the module, and it work :-(

What am I doing wrong?
