Subject: Possible bug for Kernel 2.4.3 -> make modules_install

I am having trouble installing modules. The command hangs at the
following point in the install...

-------------------
Finished dependencies of target file `_modinst_post'.
Must remake target `_modinst_post'.
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.4.3; fi
Putting child 0x08088a88 PID 01056 on the chain.
Live child 0x08088a88 PID 1056
/sbin/depmod: invalid option -- F
Usage: depmod [-e -s -v ] -a [FORCED_KERNEL_VER]
depmod [-e -s -v ] MODULE_1.o MODULE_2.o ...
Create module-dependency information for modprobe.

-a, --all visit all modules
-d, --debug run in debug mode
-e output unresolved symbols
-i ignore symbol versions
-m, --system-map <file> use the symbols in <file>
-s, --system-log use the system log for error reporting
--help display this help and exit
-v, --verbose run in verbose mode
-V, --version output version information and exit
Got a SIGCHLD; 1 unreaped children.
Reaping losing child 0x08088a88 PID 1056
make: *** [_modinst_post] Error 1
Removing child 0x08088a88 PID 1056 from chain.
-----------

Can anyone tell me how to fix this prob?
