Kernel refuses to support IPv6

Hi,
I've setup IPv6 for several Linux machines so far, just one server gives me a headache:
Despite using the latest usagi-2.4.27 kernel (with IPv6 enables of course), ifconfig does not show IPv6-style addresses.
ping6 just returns "socket: Address family not supported by protocol".
What seams odd to me is that the kernel lacks the dynamik symbol table (/proc/ksysms) and also loading modules fails
(lsmod returns QM_MODULES: Function not implemented).
dmesg also gives no hint:
"IP Protocols: ICMP, UDP, TCP, IGMP
NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0."
I also tried already a kernel-binary which is working on one machine, but fails on this particular one.
Is there anything in /etc which may stop the kernel from supporting IPv6 and loading modules ?
regards,
Jens

i had this problem with modules before, because i didnt read the documentation that came with the kernel sources... maybe you have to upgrade your module-init-tools... using apt-get/emerge/rpm you could check and compare the version of the module tools to the one on the machines where everything is working fine by typing depmod -V as root
s-i-f:~# depmod -V
module-init-tools 3.1-pre6
should look something like that...
