just an idea: did you a "make dep clean" before "make install etc." when making the kernel? and why depmod makes such weird things ... run "rm /lib/modules/2.0.36/modules.dep" - possibly it's write-protected or such thing. your question, why all the geniuses are silent: we don't have your system in front of us. give a root login to somebody you trust and your problem will probably be fixed within minutes. we (mostly) are no clairvoyants. -- Hi!
