F14 fails to insert a module with a strange error message

I've successfully (%99.99) upgraded from F12 to F14 using PreUpgrade.

There is a little (missing %0.01) but rather weird problem.  I use 
gkremllm with a Dell I8K plugin installed. Two errors are reported after 
the boot:

1.

ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ixf86configmodule.so: 
undefined symbol: xstrtokenize

(I'm not sure I understand this.)

2.

FATAL: Error inserting i8k (/lib/modules/2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686.PAE/kernel/
drivers/char/i8k.ko): No such device

Now the interesting part. The directory and the module do exist. But when 
I try to execute in console:

modprobe -v /lib/modules/2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686.PAE/kernel/drivers/char/
i8k.ko

I'm having back an error message:

FATAL: Module /lib/modules/2.6.35.6_48.fc14.i686.PAE/kernel/drivers/char/
i8k.ko not found

Note the difference in 2 strings above:

2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686.PAE - dash in the command to execute
and
2.6.35.6_48.fc14.i686.PAE - and underscore in the error message returned.

Is it a bug, or I'm missing something? Need some help here, please.
