Problems with modules + 2.6

I seem to have a problem with my module loading, with kernel version 2.6.0-test3. I think its something to do with modutils, but I'm not sure. My modules work fine with the 2.4 tree, but when I try and insert them with 2.6, I get
Code:
root@nexus driver-2.6.0-test3 # insmod ./vmmon-up-2.6.0-test3 
insmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented
I get the same error whatever module I try and do, as well as when doing "make modules_install" in the kernel source dir.
I've solved it for the past week or two by building a monolithic kernel (one with everything I need built in) but I now need some external ones for VMware to work.
I'm using modutils version 2.4.25

You need to switch to module-init-tools from modutils (its backwards compatible with 2.4).

Sorry, I found that shortly afterwards, but I had to go for my dinner. For anyone else needing VMware on Linux 2.6, there are some modifications you need to make to the module source files, and the perl setup script.
Info can be found at the VMware section of this page:

Now I've got to go and hunt for my Windows 98 discs. I honestly can't seem to find it, apart from the upgrade for 98FE, which isn't bootable. Dammit!
