Are there any files left in the directories? Did you install any
external drivers? If the directory has been changed at all since it was
installed, I believe that RPM does not install it. Certainly I've seen
the /lib/modules/<bla> directories stay around, only inhabited by my
wireless drivers that I installed myself. I think that the directory
should be removed if it is completely untouched since install.

Cheers,
