The stock kernels have been compiled with very different configurations between 2.4 and 2.6. Because the computer generally knows what modules to load at startup by reading a list of module names from /etc/modules, I'm not surprised that you would be getting several that had already been loaded - because you hadn't modified /etc/modules since the upgrade. Go ahead and ignore the errors, or remove the offending entries from /etc/modules and see whether things still work (they should). -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment.
