Missing modules from previous kernel

Hi guys,

It's a long time that I can't fix following problem.

I MUST run on kernel 2.6.14. Why ? When I try to upgrade my kernel my modules from old kernel(2.6.14) are not compiled to upgradet kernel.

I use following commands: make clean bzImage modules modules_install

Old school. I download kernel from www.kernel.org.

Can u help me, finally to solve it ?

Thank a lot.

Re: Missing modules from previous kernel

Aren't they compiled or aren't they installed? What is the output of:

make modules

make modules_install

After modules_install, is there a directory in /lib/modules matching in name your kernel version (i.e., the output of

uname -r

after you reboot with the new kernel)?

Anyway, on 2.6 kernels, it should be enough to do so:

make
make modules_install
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/<thenameyoulikeandyouputinthebootloaderconfigfile>

That is to say, with 'make' you compile the modules too.
