CORRECT TEXT
Your newly-compiled kernel cannot find any modules it needs to load. What command was missed
when compiling and installing the kernel?

Answer: make modules_install

Explanation:

See http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Modules.html#KERNEL and
http://www.sysdesign.ca/guides/linux_kernel.html
mod_install: This will copy all the modules to a new directory, “/lib/modules/a.b.c” where a.b.c is
the kernel version # make dep clean modules modules_install zImage
