Did you remake the modules when you installed the kernel? Some such as
nvidia, alsa require you rerun their installation process.

Hi group,
This should be an easy fix -- if you already know!
The reason many of my modules are not loading is
because modprobe is looking in /lib/modules/2.6.12-r6
and not /lib/modules/2.6.16-r3 which was filled when I
ran make modules_install.
The link to the newer kernel is OK.
Yes, I ran modules-update.
Also, module loading and unloading options are set=y
in kernel.
Not a clue as to why some modules load, sound, usb;
and some, firewire, ppp, forcedeth don't.
dmesg is filled with lines like:
Unknown symbol ...disagrees about version of
symbol ...
At the end of the boot console it says:
/usr/sbin/pppd/: Couldn't stat /dev/ttyS0: Too many
levels of symbolic links.
But according to emerge -pv udev I have the latest
ver. Which I set up according to the gentoo
udev-guide.
Attempts to specify the proper dir to modprobe result
in no-such-file errors.
