YDL 2.0 shipped with a modutils RPM that did not include the depmod
tool. depmod is used during the kernel build process to process
symbol dependencies for modules; if you don't have it the modules
will build but will fail to load as you've experienced. YDL has an
update to modutils on their FTP site which fixes this problem.
