depmod failure in 2.1.25

all:

I have 2.1.25 and the modutils-2.1.23. I have been able to build
previous kernels successfully (2.1.23 and others earlier) and have
modules 'work'.

Now, with 2.1.25, depmod gives an oops 0, as someone else reported the
other day. THus, modules.dep isn't built and modules won't load.

What's the cure? 2.1.26? modutils-2.1.25?

I tried looking at the kernel bug-hunting faq, but it didn't enlighten
me.

Regards,
George Byrkit
