I am following the instructions given here:

ftp://oz.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7260-linux/sources/ts-7260_kernel_compile_guide.txt

to compile a new 2.4 kernel for the TS-7260.  When I attempt the step "make 
modules_install" I get an error.

cd /lib/modules/2.4.26-ts11; \
        mkdir -p pcmcia; \
        find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{} 
pcmcia
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map  2.4.26-ts11; fi
Kernel version 2.4.26-ts11 requires old depmod
make: *** [_modinst_post] Error 2


I'm cross-compiling on an Ubuntu 10.4 PC (2.6.32-27-generic).  This person 
seems to have experienced the same problem:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/red-hat-31/2-4-32-kernel-compilation-problem-on-rhel4-436622/

and came to the conclusion that the 2.6 depmod was not backwards compatible 
with the 2.4 version needed, but there did not seem to be a clear work-around.  
Has anyone else been able to do "make modules_install" on a 2.6 platform, 
cross-compiling a 2.4 kernel?
