You are welcome. Ignore my repost of the same answer a few moments ago. ;)

I don't recall what the cause of the problem was, actually. The bug report 
is here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55071

Seems to indicate that perhaps modules.dep wasn't generated correctly? 
Which doesn't seem right, as 'depmod -a' should be run when the machine 
is rebooted after the install.
