Try running depmod -a.  This will clean up your
/lib/modules/2.0.32/modules.dep, which might be the problem.

Use kernel-package.

Make a kernel using kernel-package and install it.  Compare its files
(dpkg -L kernel-package-2.0.32) with the ones in /lib/modules and
delete the extras (carefully!).  Delete modules.dep, and reboot.

Edit /etc/modules and/or /etc/conf.modules and make sure they reflect
the new state of your system.
