Use "file" to identify the type of data contained in that file, and use
"rpm -Vf" to verify it. If either result doesn't look right, reboot and
fsck your filesystem.

# file /lib/modules/2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64/kernel/net/ipv6/ipv6.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64/kernel/net/ipv6/ipv6.ko: ELF
64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
# rpm -Vf /lib/modules/2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64/kernel/net/ipv6/ipv6.ko

Hi Gordon,
Your assumption turned to be true : - (. The file was corrupt (file ...
gave "data" as type, rpm -Vf throwed tons of "missing" errors). After doing
this and trying not to load the module I lost the contact to the server so
my provider had to fsck it; now the server is up again, I still have to
re-check everything.
Thanks for your help,
Jesus
