i recently compiled 2.4.6 and when booting up, no modules are ever installed.
When i boot up my old 2.2.19 there is a line "Calculating modules dependencies" but none with 2.4.6. Any ideas how to fix this? i tried doing them 1 by 1 (modprobe vfat) and any one i choose it said could not find.

Did you 'make modules' and 'make modules_install'?

I've noticed that some of the modules have different names in the 2.4.x series kernels. For example, the rt1839 driver for my nic is now 8139too instead. That might be the problem.

Did you run 'depmod -a' after the make modules_install? It could be what the problem is since you are getting the 'calculating modules dependencies' message. I'm not positive though. Anyone else?
