All this works fine on the machine where I recompiled the kernel. But when I moved the kernel to /boot on another machine and smbfs to the same place on the /lib/modules tree as it was on the compilation machine, it couldn't be found (and modprobe didn't find it either). I guess there's something I need to do to register the module -- but what? I'd like to avoid having to recompile the kernel on this other machine.
