Hi,

 First I'd like to show a limitation in my case. The server is at a
datacenter, so booting a new kernel is highly improbable, only in a
emergency case.

You say, booting a new kernel is highly improbable. But why are you
recompiling the kernel


 I've downloaded  kernel-source 2.4.27, and copied
/boot/config-2.4.27-2.386 into /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.27/.config

 First I tried 'make dep', but an error occured. Then I ran 'make
menuconfig', made no modifications, and then ran 'make dep, with no
errors at all.

 After this I compiled the modules and installed them (make modules;
make modules_install). No erros again.

<snip>

/lib/modules/2.4.27/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.27/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod
ip_tables failed



What i suggest is that you reinstall the stock debian kernel, apt-get
or download the deb and install by doing dpkg -i.

You should get back your modules setup properly.
