Thanks for the reply. It seems fairly straightforward. From reading this,
I would think that running module-rebuild populate would be the first task.
Add/Del package would be for building discriminate versions of a kernel
(presumably for locating problems or just testing out a kernel revision),
list is simply a list of what's been 'populate'd, toggle would have similar
usage as Add/Del, except that it would allow/disallow a package which has
been 'populate'd, and rebuild would be the heart of the reason for this
utility, to rebuild a set of modules into a new kernel. Assuming I'm at
least somewhat correct in this, my only point of confusion is whether I
compile the new kernel first, then run module-rebuild? Or does running
module-rebuild 'rebuild' allow me to compile the new kernel, link it, and
reboot into it?

Under "Tips and tricks".
Basically just:
# module-rebuild list
# module-rebuild rebuild
I noticed that if you do another "list" after the "rebuild", the
same modules show as needing rebuild. Then after a reboot
the "list" shows clean. So I'm assuming the "list" is against
your running kernel.
