I just built and installed modutils-2.4.9.

Building vanilla 2.4.10, while doing 'make modules_install':

cd /lib/modules/2.4.10; \
mkdir -p pcmcia; \
find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{}
pcmcia
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.4.10; fi
depmod: Unexpected value (20) in
'/lib/modules/2.4.10/kernel/drivers/ieee1394/sbp2.o' for
ieee1394_device_size
It is likely that the kernel structure has changed, if so then
you probably need a new version of modutils to handle this
kernel.
Check linux/Documentation/Changes.
make: *** [_modinst_post] Error 255

I can reproduce it with a simple
# depmod -V -ae -F System.map 2.4.10
depmod version 2.4.9
depmod: Unexpected value (20) in
'/lib/modules/2.4.10/kernel/drivers/ieee1394/sbp2.o' for
ieee1394_device_size

kernel.
Check linux/Documentation/Changes.

It always mentions the same module.
