In my case I now suspect this is due to using modutils which doesn't add
ide to the directories (haven't checked, but that was the cause of sinilar
problems before, and I upgraded top Red Hat 6.2 in between, which in turn
downgraded modutils to 2.3.9). You should add:

keep
path[ide]=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/ide

at the beginning of /etc/modules.conf (or conf.modules, whatever you use),
or upgrade to modutils-2.3.10 at least.

Sorry for wasting your time.
