I recently fixed that error by upgrading to the latest modutils package. I 
downloaded it from here:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/modules/module-init-tools-3.0-pre7.tar.bz2

Be carefull to read the included README file though, as it needs you to 
run 'make moveold' to backup your original modutils first.

This was on an x86 box I was upgrading from 2.4.20 to 2.6.1. The module 
stuff worked great after the upgrade.

I also rebooted into my 2.4.20 kernel to see if the new modutils were 
backwards compatible. They were. Booting into both kernels works OK now.

Glad to hear the PowerBook install is working, I'm after one of the 15" 
models :) ....

As an aside, the iBooks say they come with a bluetooth aerial, but
the PowerBooks give the impression that they come with bluetooth ready to
go. Have I read that right? I don't actually want bluetooth, I just wanted
to know if I had to find a way to turn it off or not. I don't trust 
high MHz or GHz transmitters.

Cheers,
