i replied to this issue a while ago, but nobody confirmed it. my case was
after the upgrade to 2.2.13. what i did is to get rid of one "/" in the
pathnames in modules.dep that was generated automatically or manually,
because the file generated with "depmod -a" has two "/"s in the pathnames.
since then, i have no problem. so take a look at this file at least. source
from kernel.org has less compilation options (such as NLS modules).
obviously, mandrake added something. by the way, you can boot with the
installation floppy disk (vmlinuz root=/dev/hda) in case that you don't have
a rescue disk in hand.

Subject: Re: [expert] Making a new kernel?
I had a similar problem after installing 6.1. I posted questions on
here, but had very little success. Finally I just downloaded the latest
source from ftp.kernel.org, untarred it, and built it myself (doesn't
take long). This worked, and now I don't have the problem. Hope this
helps.
