It's fairly common to use the source tree in /usr/src/linux; most
programs assume that is the source of the running kernel. If it's not
you end up with problems such as you had. It's easy enough to fix with a
pair of rm and ln commands.

What would your suggestion be for pair of rm and ln commands?
I get that this was my doing but what's the accepted way of running
two versions of the same kernel? (In my case UMP and SMP) Am I
supposed to copy the whole kernel tree to a second directory with a
different name?
What bothers me about the ivtv make process was that it said it was
working with lib/modules/2.6.13-gentoo-r3 but was placing things in
2.6.13-gentoo-r3-ht. If the make file knew the right name when it was
printing on the screen then why didn't it know the right name when it
was writing files to the hard drive?
Anyway, I'd like to learn how to do this better. Thanks in advance for
any insights you can share.
The kernel's Makefile is what actually handles the install of modules.
