Really?

  $ man update-modules
  No manual entry for update-modules

Searching it on Google finds a man page as first result that says
"update-modules is a simple tool to manage /etc/modules.conf and
/etc/chandev.conf for the s390 architecture." From the contents of
that man page, I infer that this command is Debian-specific. The first
two pages of Google results don't contradict that impression.

Please don't expect that I have the same distribution as you. Please
read the paragraphs before you discard them and reply to an article. 
In the deleted paragraph, I mentioned already that I don't run Debian,
and that I found the actual symlink dubious.

But likely your comment

BZ> For using 2.6.X-kernels you need the package module-init-tools!

might help the original poster, if you are running a Debian system --
which you didn't mention, and I'm just assuming...

Cheers,
	Joachim
