Make sure your Debian package is up-to-date.  There was a problem with
the module loading that has been fixed recently.  Also, check that you
are actually packaging and installing modules for your kernel by
looking at the output of these three commands:

 uname -a
 dpkg -c mol-modules-2.4.22_0.9.69+10.00.Custom_powerpc.deb
 dpkg -L mol-modules-2.4.22

First, there is a shorter way of saying this:

 apt-get build-dep mol-modules; apt-get source --build mol-modules

Second, this package is completely useless to you since you are not
running the official Debian kernel from the
kernel-image-2.4.22-powerpc package.
