Hi all,
 unfortunately I was too fast deleting the problematic /lib/modules/2.4.28-pre2
directory. Here's the log of what I've done at about the time I hit the problem:

 427  cd /usr/src
 428  ls
 429  uname -a
 430  bzip2 -dc linux-2.4.29.tar.bz2 | tar xf -
 431  cd linux-2.4.29
 432  bzip2 -dc ~mmokrejs/tmp/patch-2.4.30-pre3.bz2 | patch -p1
 433  bzip2 -dc ~mmokrejs/tmp/patch-2.4.30-pre3-bk2.bz2 | patch -p1
 434  cp ../linux-2.4.30-pre1-bk5/.config .
 435  cd ..
 436  mv linux-2.4.29 linux-2.4.30-pre3-bk2
 437  pwd
 438  cd linux-2.4.30-pre3-bk2
 439  make oldconfig
 440  make dep; make bzIMage; make modules
 441  make modules_install
 442  make modules_install
 443  ls
 444  make bzImage
 445  make modules
 446  make modules_install
 447  make bzImage
 448  make modules
 449  make modules_install
 450  gzip .config
 451  gzip -d .config.
 452  gzip -d .config.gz 
 453  cp .config .config-ok
 454  make menuconfig
 455  make dep; make bzImage; make modules
 456  make modules_install
 457  make menuconfig
 458  make dep; make bzImage; make modules
 459  make modules_install
 460  make menuconfig
 461  make dep; make bzImage; make modules
 462  make modules_install
 463  make menuconfig
 464  make dep; make bzImage; make modules
 465  make modules_install
 466  rm -rf /lib/modules/2.4.28-pre2
 467  make modules_install


The step 466 "fixed" my problem. I have repeated all the steps as show in the history log,
but no luck to hit the problem again. I just guess the /lib/modules/2.4.28-pre2/xfree-drm/via_drv.o
file came from gentoo's xfree-drm package as at that time /usr/src/linux pointed to that kernel version.
The System.map (/usr/src/linux-2.4.28-pre2/System.map) maybe wasn't updated, as I think the modules
just get compiled against configured kernel src tree.

I did in the /usr/src/linux-2.4.30-pre3-bk2 tree (while rm -rf /lib/modules/2.4.28-pre2 already happened):
strace make modules_install 2>&1 | grep '2.4.28'
and go nothing interresting.

Also, 
find . -type f | xargs grep 2.4.28
doesn't show anything of interrest.


# depmod --version
