    It's not about upgrade moutils to the last version.
    The last kernel came with several changes in the tree directory and also
    modules. For example, now you can have access to the process through /sys
    directory, and not /proc.
    The extension of the modules will be .kmo, or something like that, and not .o
    You will need a new version of isnmod, modprobe,lsmode, etc and /etc/modules.conf will be now /etc/modprobe.conf.
    For all those things you need module-init-tools software (or libraries ?).
    First read very well the documentation about install, because is my idea you will replace the binaries and the configuratios files.

    Best regards from Chile.
