Are you running the 2.4.x kernel with or without an initrd.img RamDisk?

What is the root filesystem type?

Is it panicking at the stage where it is trying to read the modules from
the initrd image or is it after this when it has mountd the root
filesystem and trying to read them from there?

And are you sure it says 'modules.*deb*" and not "modules.*dep*"
