~ $ rpm -qf /lib/ld.so
ld.so-1.9.5-13

You probably need to update your ld.so RPM.  ld is the LoaDer,  it links 
ELF programs to shared libraries at run time,  really needed by the entire 
system to do anything useful at all.  A newer modutil probably requires a 
certain version of the library loader,  as modprobe (a wrapper around 
insmod and rmmod) is a library loader itself,  just kernel space libraries
(drivers, whatever) verses user space programs (widget sets, ODBC drivers, 
etc...)
