So you can boot up when you use the new modutils?

Hmmm... let's see, on my Corporate Server 1.0 box I have
modutils-2.3.20-1.2mdk installed and it works perfect. depmod -av
gives me lots of output. On my Mandrake 7.2 box I have
modutils-2.3.20-1.1mdk and it also works perfectly. So, yes, it has
been tested on both versions of Mandrake (7.1 and 7.2) and they work
fine.

I honestly can't say what your problem is... perhaps Chmouel will have
an idea, but modutils works just fine for me here. On my corporate
server box I am running kernel-2.2.16-9mdk and on my 7.2 box I am
running 2.2.17-21mdk. Not sure if this makes a difference as far as
modutils is concerned, but it might.
