RE: Problem after re-compiling the kernel.

[Anandraj <arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I think u missed out some steps in Kernel Compilation
Did u give
make modules and
make modules_install

after make bzImage !!

only if make modules_install is given u can find the modules in
/lib/modules/2.4.xx path !!
