It appears that modutils is no longer being used.  We either use module-init-tools or busybox:
 
[initrd.rul]
MODULE_UTILS=module-init-tools
ifeq ($(ARCH),ppc64)
  MODULE_UTILS=busybox
endif
ifeq ($(ARCH),ppc64-iSeries)
  MODULE_UTILS=busybox
endif
 
I ran into an issue using UseYourOwnKernel with branch/3.6.x on RHEL3 which uses 2.4 kernel.  I got the following error message:
 
Kernel requires old insmod, but couldn't run insmod.old: No such file or directory
 
I propose that we compile modutil's insmod as insmod.old.
 
I'd like to check this into stable branch if possible (since this is a bugfix of sorts) - of course I'll do as much testing as I can.
 
Thanks,
 
Bernard
