The order in which you did the operation is incorrect, you "must" make the
modules and install then before booting, and yes booting is nessacary.
To recap;
make config
make dep clean zlilo
make modules modules_install
reboot
depmod -a should happen automaticly, however i beleive 2.2.x kernels need
"kmod" to install modules. that i belive has replaced the modutils such as
modprobe/insmod. Someone else who uses 2.2.x will need to confirm the use of
"kmod" as i still use 2.0.xx.
