Modules will not load after installing new kernel

Using Pluspack on 4.016 development, created new kernel

make config
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install

copied bzImage and System.map to /emergency/boot
backed up old bzImage and System.map
edit lilo.conf and updated boot loader using lilo -r /emergency/boot

Kernel boots, the problem is that I cannot load any modules after booting with the new kernel,

After logging in, I run modprobe and get a lot of errors

I know I'm missing a step but can't seem to find it,
anyone have any ideas.

Thanks.

the version string of your kernel does not match the old one so he is not looking for the same modules.

The version string in the toplevel Makefile of the pluspack is 2.4.19.C_27, a new modules directory is created in lib/modules, what do I need to do after that to get the kernel to point to the right modules directory.

you SHOULD NOT force feed modules to your kernel, that is a BIIIG nono. You should compile the modules you need and use them instead of the astaro modules.

With the upgrade to 4.016 the kernel was updated, too. The new kernel used is version 2.4.22, compiling on the kernel sources for 2.4.19 will not work.

Thanks Andreas, that was my problem I did not update src/linux with the new source. I've compiled my modules and my card now works. Thanks.
