This could be a result from the modutils lacking some share libs. The
error message is rather worrying, but this often means it needs some
special libs in its local /lib/ or /usr/lib .... (so in the initrd
probably). You can find out which libs are needed by calling
ldd -v /executable/file/name

Try to load them manually in a local shell on the clients. Then
modify the startup scripts accordingly.

I think there is some depmod switch not to use the local files but to
prepend anything to the filenames it's going to write... read the
depmod manpage for details.

Jim stated he'd wait with a 2.6 client implementaion until 2.6.12 or
so (then it hopefully will be really, really stable). My opinion on
this goes along the same line... there's only few need for the newer
kernels. Special applications may need it, but the mainstream will
have a stable 2.4 and just needs nothing else. So you are kinda
pioneer on this :-)
