I had some similar issues with this as well... For me busybox's
insmod was going and looking in the /lib/modules/2.2.17/* when in
fact I was running a 2.2.19 kernel and it should have been finding
/lib/modules/2.2.19/* .  I only found this by enabling
BB_FEATURE_INSMOD_VERSION_CHECKING and then it whines and shows you
what its trying to do.

I just removed the unused trees from my /lib/modules directory and it
went away.. I haven't had time to go prowl through the source and see
what was going on.
