Just my $.02.
I had the same problem running RH 5.1 when I compiled 2.0.36. I found that
the rc.sysinit script was not finding the directory even though it was
looking in the right place. As far as I can tell, the steps that the script
goes through is as follows:
1) Delete the symlink "preferred" in /var/modules
2) Look for the current kernel version
3) Make a symlink called "preferred" to the directory in /var/modules
that matches the booted kernel version
For some reason it didn't work, so I just took all that out of the scripts
since I don't make changes to my system often. Some of the others on this
group may have comments as to if this is not wise. If so I invite comments.
