[CLUE-Tech] kernel compilation

[Timothy C. Klein]

Did you do 'make modules_install' as root from the /usr/src/linux (or
wherever it was you built the kernel)?  You don't mention it.  If you
skipped that, it is loading your new kernel, but the modules you made
have not been pladed /lib/modules/linux-2.4.3.12, so the kernel can't
find them.  The modules_install step puts them there.
