You installed module-init-tools for 2.5 kernels without patching
various things to use it the way it comes set up... that will cause
this.

In general, you don't want to 'upgrade' the kernel, you just want
to 'install' a new one. (i.e., use 'rpm -i', not 'rpm -U'); this
allows the old kernel to still be there to boot from.
