Here you are right and wrong. As Gnome is not starting anymore because I do not have the newest version of Orbit and libbonobo (Debian packages are not released yet - I am running unstable) I am now running KDE. If I do depmod -a I get: 

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.21-ben2/kernel/drivers/sound/dmasound/dmasound_pmac.o 

My feeling tells me you must be right.

Thanks for feedback.
