You guys are sorda missing the point of 'moveold' ....
You want to build it with '--prefix=/' so that
both depmod and depmod.old are in /sbin ....

----------------------
workshop root # ls /sbin/depmod* -l
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        58744 Aug  4 17:19 /sbin/depmod
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        58712 Aug  4 13:57 /sbin/depmod.old
workshop root # ls /sbin/modprobe* -l
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            6 Aug  4 17:19 /sbin/modprobe
-> insmod
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           10 Aug  4 13:57
/sbin/modprobe.old -> insmod.old
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           13 Aug  4 17:19
/sbin/modprobe.static -> insmod.static
workshop root # 
------------------

Any call will then thus run depmod/whatever from module-init-tools
first, and if the kernel is 2.4, etc, it will call
depmod.old/whatever ...
