IMHO, yes. make mrproper make menuconfig <-- Insert your missing module !! Don't forget to load the configuration from file because 'make mrproper' will delete your '.config'. make dep && make modules && make modules_install Please tell me when I'm wrong!!! 'make bzImage' will build the kernel-binary, you don't need it, so you can leave it. > as I had to do the last time?

Ok, but the time depends on your system.
