I tried using this version of modutils from kernel.org with 2.5.50.
Apart from not working with 2.5.50, my system was no longer able to load 
modules on 2.4.19 (mdk 9.0).
I made a symlink from modutils.conf to modules.conf but still nothing got 
loaded.

The readme with that src.rpm isn't very helpful in this regard so some 
clarification on how modules/modutils now work in 2.5.x might be prudent.

Mark.
