Good, this is a good guide to follow.

Try to use an absolute path for INSTALL_MOD_PATH here.

Use the same absolute path here too.

This means that you are using a modern depmod program, which is part
of module-init-tools package.  Module handling changed significantly
between 2.4 and 2.6, so the module handling tools changed as well
(modutils for 2.4 vs. module-init-tools for 2.6).  The modern depmod
program is smart enough to detect when it deals with old (2.4)
modules, and tries to run an older depmod program (depmod.old) that
understands 2.4 modules.

See if your distribution has package that supplies a depmod.old for
2.4 backwards compatibility.  If not, try to create a symlink of
/sbin/depmod.old to /sbin/depmod.

In the worst case, you would have to install the modules by hand.
