Can I get a core dump or any further information? :-) Just make sure your /lib/modules/<kernel> is like 300 megabytes or even more. Then depmod will clog up quite a lot memory already. (Taking a 256 mb ram machine for example, no swap or just very little.)
Yup, this would happen reproducibly on a machine with <= 256MB RAM and swap disabled, when building a large enough modular kernel. The depmod at end of modules_install would invariably invoke the OOM killer, and get itself shot (taking down the shell with it, often) ...
