Unfortunately, this does not work for me.  As you can see from below, I get a segmentation fault when this runs.

If I just use depmod to resolve the dependencies, I get:
[root at titan archives]# depmod -ae -F /boot/System.map-2.6.8-1.521 2.6.8-1.521

Guess I picked a bad time to upgrade from FC1 to FC2.  Any ideas Jarod?
