kernel modules problems

[Bart Himel]

I've been a user of Debian for several years now.  Due to a problem with 
libc last week, I had to go through the pain of reinstalling 
everything.  Anyway, since then, every time I try to compile a new 2.4.x 
kernel, I get a message from depmod reporting dependency prioblems with 
almost ALL of my modules.  Am I missing some package essential to making 
kernel deb packages?  or is this simply another issue with gcc 2.95.x?
