My one learning that I have not see mentioned is that after you compile the 
kernel, you do this:

cd /usr/src/linux (or wherever your 2.6 kernel is)
depmod -e -F System.map

The first time, it will complain that a directory doesn't exist. Create it.

The second time, it creates the module dependencies. After that, I get a lot 
less module dependency error messages.
