It sounds like /lib/modules/2.2.9-27mdk/modules.dep doesn't have correct
dependency information for the sb.o module. Try running depmod -c (I
think that's correct, check the depmod manpage) and then check the
resulting modules.dep. You should see uart401.o listed on the
right-hand side of the ':' for sb.o.
