I have downloaded 2.6.8 from kernel.org.  Its stable version. I have
downloaded a tarball not RPM. I compiled the kernel with modules
support , actually before this I have compiled the kernel 2.4.x
versions but it was like, compiling the it over 2.4.x version so it
never gave me a problem.

I tried with lates release of "modutils" too. The message appears is
"QM_MODULES : function not implemented" and status of operation is
FAILED on insmod.
