Sorry, I'm not able to check because the box in question went today into production. I use to compile kernels without modules (for security reasons) and as I said I was successful here. (By the way - would this mean I could remove modutils completely?)

Hmm, this might work but I would regard it as RC bug because kernel-image-2.4.19-sun4u is not installable in stable. It should depend from a working modutils package and this package has to go into stable. I would like to file a bug report if noone instists. Kind regards Andreas.
