I haven't been through the 2.6.10 make file, but something seems whacked
with the modules.

I've taken to doing an rm -rf /lib/modules/2.6.10/* and then

make clean && make && make modules && make modules_install && make install

There must be a better way. But this seems to avoid the problem you're
seeing - modules not loading. At least in my case, it's because the
old modules aren't being deleted and rebuilt....

Then again, if your kernel boots, are you sure you didn't build a
monolithic (no modules) kernel? Mine won't even get beyond mounting /
since the ext3 and jbd modules aren't there.
