When you compile a 2.0.31 kernel, and the modules, and do the final
"make modules_install", the modules are installed in /lib/modules/2.0.31/.
The messages are provoked by "depmod -a" which checks the modules against
the kernel.

The solution : rm -rf /lib/modules/2.0.31 , and then do the
"make modules_install" again.
