Which is harmless. Really. You didn't install modules, there's no need for 
modprobe to work well. If you install modules, that goes away.

It's a totally wrong thing to do.

Try it on your host, and see things burn out if you want. Modules are almost 
_never_ compatible between two different kernel releases, especially so much 
different.

Hmm, that error is harmless. Really. However:

Or otherwise create an empty /lib/modules/2.4.26-3um/ (and possibly even the 
kernel/ subdirectory), and try running depmod -a again - it should probably 
create an empty dependency listing and fix the warning.

Or simply remove the "depmod -a" or "modprobe whatever" lines in the init 
scripts (not a great idea, though).
