-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I had the same problem. I recompiled the kernel without module support, and installed the modutils without a problem.
If you comment out the module entries in the /etc/modules file the boot errors will stop. Just hope you don't need any of them. I haven't recompiled module support back in since I put everything I need in the kernel, but I assume that now that the modutils is installed I could and all would be fine. If your X colors look like crap you might have the wrong server or maybe a bad config. I had to make many mod's manually to the XF86Config file to get my X looking good. I'm 99% sure that the kernel has nothing to do with the appearence of X.
