major badness with latest kernel update

I just updated my phoebe system to the latest rawhide kernel (and sted
deps including SysVinit) and kablooey

1. the kernel fails to boot, copmplaining about no /bin/insmod.old,
copying this file from /sbin makes no difference

2. my old kernel is  barely functioning as the kernel upgrade wipes out
my modules directory (which was a custom one), so no net acces, sound
etc

To get back up, I had to recompile the source rpm, which thankfully was
on my hard drive, as of course if it had been on a cd I would have been
totally fscked

This behaviour is really bad, especially 2.

Does anyone know what other updates are neccesary to boot the new kernel
