no /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe ??

[Hunter H Marshall]

I have a potato (i386) system (updated today). About a month ago I built 
myself a 2.2.14 kernel.

I just learned today why kerneld keeps getting started, I have no
/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe.

I finally figured out that the examples directing text into
various /proc files relies on the fact that they ALREADY exist (as
opposed to CREATING them).

So what do I do to create /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe ?

Thanks
