Normally, when you make modules_install for a new kernel, it obliterates the old contents of /lib/modules/, to avoid odd crashes from using modules compiled for the wrong kernel. If you then reverted to an old kernel which had the same version, you'd have the new modules and an old kernel, which can sometimes give this sort of error. My suggestion would be to compile a new kernel, and set EXTRAVERSION. If the new kernel is version 2.4.5, then put the System.map in /boot/System.map-2.4.5. This doesn't explain why all of your modules are gzipped, though. Is this a distribution-specific kernel, or one compiled from the sources at www.kernel.org?
