Here's what i would try:
1. make xconfig
2. make dep clean modules modules_install bzdisk
3. depmod -a (you didn't forget THIS did you??) I think you might have to have
rebooted the new
kernel to do this effectively (see #5)
4. reboot with the disk
5. if any problems w/ modules on bootup, then do "depmod -a" again (this betrays my
ignorance,
maybe)
6. if everything is happy, then do the last step:
7. make install
Hope it helps :-)
