I tried that and it didn't help. However, I did figure out what was wrong.
The debian iBCS package installs the iBCS module into
/lib/modules/2.0/misc, and when I boot linux with my old kernel (2.0.29)
and run depmod -a, /lib/modules/2.0.29/modules.dep includes

/lib/modules/2.0/misc/iBCS:

However, with my new kernel (2.0.30), depmod -a does not list any
dependencies except for modules living under /lib/modules/2.0.30. So I
just copied /lib/modules/2.0/misc/iBCS to /lib/modules/2.0.30/misc/iBCS
and everything worked fine (without the above alias line in
/etc/conf.modules). Is this a bug in modutils? Something else?  

Thanks for all your help. Cheers, Colin.
