Possible bug for Kernel 2.4.3 -> make modules_install

[Patrick Shirkey]

I am having trouble installing modules. The command hangs at the
following point in the install...

-------------------
  Finished dependencies of target file `_modinst_post'.
  Must remake target `_modinst_post'.
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map  2.4.3; fi
Putting child 0x08088a88 PID 01056 on the chain.

/sbin/depmod: invalid option -- F

  -e                         output unresolved symbols
  -i                         ignore symbol versions
  -m, --system-map <file>    use the symbols in <file>
  -s, --system-log           use the system log for error reporting
      --help                 display this help and exit
  -v, --verbose              run in verbose mode
  -V, --version              output version information and exit
Got a SIGCHLD; 1 unreaped children.
Reaping losing child 0x08088a88 PID 1056

Can anyone tell me how to fix this prob?
