SOS; apt-get dist-updrade mashes modules

In fact, /lib/modules/extra/ does not exist, but there is a modules.dep 
in /lib/modules/2.4.21-xfs.

so should I;
    -create /lib/modules/extra/ and drop in a symlink to the existing 
modules.dep.
    -try to discern the source of the call to 
lib/modules/extra/modules.dep and redirect it.
    -reconfigure (somehow) with update-modules or modprobe (?).
    -do something more drastic (kernel compile) or re-install the whole 
shootin' match ..

gee this OSS is educational !
thanks guys (and gal)
