cpio: ./modprobe: Too many levels of symbolic links
It's due to 'modprobe --show-depends' printing not only insmod command
but also install ones :
# modprobe --set-version=2.6.15-rc5-swsusp2-bs-jcd --show-depends

In manual_add_modules() :
for mam_x in $(modprobe --set-version="${version}"
--show-depends "${1}" 2>/dev/null | awk '{ print $2 }'); do
[...]
ln -s "${mam_x}" "${DESTDIR}/$(dirname "${mam_x}")"
With mam_x = modprobe there's a problem...
Quick fix :
